Parish Church Of St Eustace

The parish church of St Eustace is a primarily 15th-century building, with a north aisle dating to the 16th century, some 17th-century work, and a major restoration in 1903 by Ponting. The church is constructed of banded rubble and flint with ashlar quoins and dressings, while the tower is of squared dressed rubble and ashlar. It has a tiled roof with stone copings and gable ends.

The church comprises a nave, south porch, chancel, west tower, north aisle, and north chapel. The two-stage west tower features weathered diagonal buttresses and a projecting vice tower to the north. The west door has a Tudor arched head with casement moulding and continuous jambs. Above is a window of three cinqufoiled lights under a 2-centred head with casement moulded surrounds. The upper stage of the tower has four 2-light windows with panelled tracery under square heads, topped by an embattled parapet. The nave and north aisle feature a variety of 2 and 3-light panelled tracery windows with square heads and stopped returned labels; one north-west window is of the 17th century, and the adjacent window has ogee-headed lights. The east chancel window is of three cinqufoiled lights under a transom with a pointed head and intersecting tracery, dating to 1903.

Internally, the north aisle arcade is of two bays, with a small 20th-century arch to the right. The chancel arcade also has two bays and 2-centred moulded arches, supported by round shafts clustered around a square pier with plain round capitals. There is a 1903 2-centred chancel arch, and the tower arch is 2-centred with flat jambs. The nave roof is an arch-braced collar beam roof with perpendicular tracery while the chancel roof is arch braced collar beam with cusped windbracing. The aisle has a plastered barrel roof, and the north chapel has an open wagon roof. A 15th-century piscina is located in the chancel. The font is an octagonal stone font from the 15th century with a stem and base. A 17th-century panelled oak screen is within the tower arch. Other furnishings include 20th-century pews, a probable 20th-century pulpit, various 18th and 19th-century wall monuments, and 15th-century encaustic tiles in the south porch.
