Parish church
St. Mary's parish church had been established by the second half of the 11th century.
The present east window of the chancel is also Decorated Gothic.[5] The tower's upper stages are octagonal,[5] possibly in reference to a style of church towers in Normandy whence the monks from Fécamp would have originated.[4] In the 15th century a Perpendicular Gothic clerestory was added to the nave, and the roofs of the nave, aisles and chancel were all rebuilt in the shallow-pitched late-medieval manner.[4] Late in the 15th century the Perpendicular Gothic west window[5] of the nave was inserted.[4] The windows of the north chapel were decorated with stained glass depicting the heraldry of the de Grey family.[4] During the English Civil War in the 17th century the church was damaged and the heraldic glass was destroyed.[4]
