Brief description

"All Saints' Church is a fine Grade I listed building, which was built by the Knights Templar in 1265. It is 'a plague church' - the plague was visited upon the village - which was in the field opposite the church door - in medieval times. The people relocated their homes and so the church now stands at the edge of the village. In the church there are a numerous cinque foil - it is said that each of these represents one person who lost their lives in plague.

The church was much altered in the late 19th and early 20th century when a new organ, Rood Screen and other woodwork was installed in the church in the 'High Church' style. There are some lovely stained-glass windows. We are planning to install a new stained-glass window into the church in 2022 to commemorate the life of the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, who was born in the Vicarage."
