Church Of The Assumption Of St Mary The Virgin

The Church of the Assumption of St Mary the Virgin, formerly known as the Parish Church of St John the Baptist, is primarily an early 12th-century structure. The chancel was rebuilt in 1847 and underwent significant restoration in 1875-1876 by Lacy W Rudge. It is constructed from random Mixon stone and Caen stone rubble, topped with a tiled roof. The building features a nave and chancel, along with a small belfry at the west end.

In the north wall, there is the head of a blocked Norman window and a blocked 13th-century door, as well as two modern lancet windows. The nave roof may date from the 18th century. The chancel arch, which is from the 13th century, consists of two chamfered orders. The font is likely old but was entirely recut in the 19th century. The south wall includes a Norman doorway with two orders, featuring a broad hand of chevron ornament and a frieze of lobed pendants, along with modern neck shafts and plain abaci that have scalloped capitals.
