The parish church,
dedicated to St Peter, dates mainly from the fourteenth century. It is in very good condition, a fact which was recorded in a quinquennial inspection carried out in 2020. The building is warmed by gas convectors maintaining a reasonable temperature at services and events. A servery and toilet facilities are available. The pews have been replaced with comfortable chairs which are appreciated by visitors attending concerts.
An embroidered map depicts every building in the village as at the year 2000.
For major festivals the church is colourfully decorated by an enthusiastic band of local people.
Church Services
Each month there is a Communion service using Common Worship Order 1 on the third Sunday. Also, families enjoy an informal All Age Church service on the first Sunday of the month. As well as these, services for the benefice together with baptisms, weddings and funerals also take place at the Church of St Peter. Details are usually listed in the calendar.
