About this Church

A Saxon survivor in the Garden of England

This picture-postcard church stands hidden by trees in a delightful setting by the Little Stour. When visiting, you first see the small spire and bell tower then the beautiful flint, ragstone and brick body of the church. There is strong evidence of Saxon origins but many alterations have left traces from most of the centuries since.

Inside, the church is furnished with box pews, some with beautiful carving, a seventeenth-century pulpit and a handsome organ, still showing the original pumping lever. The attractive tiled flooring contains three interesting memorial stones.
