Parish Church Of St Thomas A'Beckett

The parish church of St Thomas A'Beckett dates primarily to the 16th century, with a 15th-century west tower and a 19th-century north vestry and restoration. Further restoration occurred in 1875. The church is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, its nave roofed with slate and the chancel with tiles.

The plan includes a nave with a west tower, a south porch, and a north aisle, alongside a chancel and vestry. The architecture is mainly in the Perpendicular style. The west tower comprises three stages separated by string courses, featuring diagonal buttresses, a vice turret with loops, and an embattled parapet with finials. Gargoyles adorn the upper string course. A 4-centred arched west door is surrounded by continuously moulded jambs, above which is a three-light window with panel tracery and returned label. The second stage has a single lancet window to the west and a small quatrefoil to the east. The third stage contains two-light, panel-tracery windows with returned labels on each side, with clock faces to the north and east. The chancel's east window is a three-light design with panel tracery under a two-centred arch, while the north and south chancel windows are two-light with square heads. The nave has two 19th-century three-light windows with panel tracery and a single light window to the right. The north aisle’s north wall features two three-light, square-headed windows, and the west wall contains a 16th-century two-light window under a square head. The gabled south porch has a slated roof and a churchwarden's inscription dated 1753 with a sundial above; its arch has a moulded 4-centred head with continuous jambs. External buttresses are set square against the south nave wall and the north aisle wall.

Internally, a two-bay nave arcade features chamfered 4-centred arches and an octagonal centre pier. The tower arch is two-centred with double casement moulding and continuous jambs, while the chancel arch is also two-centred and moulded. A 19th-century gallery is located to the rear of the nave, exhibiting cusped rectangular panelling. The nave roof has tie beam trusses with vertical tracery, the chancel roof is wagon-shaped, and the north aisle ceiling is a sloping plastered surface. A south door constructed of nailed planks is fitted with wrought iron strap hinges. A late 12th-century font displays a square bowl with decorated panels set on a large central shaft and smaller corner shafts on a chamfered base. Pews and pulpit are 19th-century. Reset early glass is present, along with a floor slab dated 1661 and 18th, 19th, and 20th-century wall tablets.
