Carved pews where monkeys can be found
This simple church, dating back to the thirteenth century, sits prettily in a farmyard setting. It is a simple building with a Tudor brick porch and a bell-cote. Inside there are beautiful brasses, showing men and women in Medieval dress, and centuries-old pews with lovely carvings - including two little monkeys.
