St Thomas à Becket Church is Grade II* Listed,  and looks and feels medieval. It probably has late Saxon origins, and then evolved over many centuries.

Our popular Guided tours of church and tower are back again fortnightly on Saturdays at 11.30. See dates on our Visiting page.

• There’s no visible trace of its probable late Saxon origin. The chancel may be on the footprint of a Norman chapel.
• The oldest feature is a blocked lancet window of Early English style (c.1180-1250), in the west wall of the north aisle.
• Reconstruction of the nave and aisle arcades in the early 1300s produced an almost square plan apart.
• The south aisle can be dated by the 14th-century piscina in the south wall.
• Delightful stained glass windows are glorious gifts in 1867, 1885, 1888, 1897 and 1911, when almost all the windows were enlarged and replaced.

A new and comprehensive history of the church will be added to the website when completed.
