The church of St. Lawrence dates from the 12th century, was rebuilt in the 13th century and has later additions. Marks on either side of the chancel arch seem to indicate that the building once possessed a rood screen. Until quite recently a large gallery stretched across the west end of the building. On the vestry door is a strange grill covered by a heavy shutter. Nobody knows the purpose for which it was intended; a spy hole or maybe a confessional;
The church has six bells and these are regularly rung.
