St Paul's Church
The first church on this site was built in 1718 and it was replaced by another building in 1742. The present church was built in 1829 and is dedicated to St Paul. It is built of brown brick with light headers to give a chequer-board effect. The side door and the adjacent windows have been blocked up. The medium-height tower is at the west end, the top stage is octagonal with a leaded roof and it is surmounted by a weather vane. The church was designated as a Grade II listed building on 20 June 1996, assessed as being "a good example of an earlier C19 church".[7]
