The Church of St.Michael and All Angels is "like a small Cathedral", wrote William Cobbett in his Rural Rides.

14th Century, South transept added.
15th Century, The Church underwent extensive alterations.
17th Century, Marble Monument dedicated to the HOWES of Cassey Compton and sited at the west end.
