"The church dates from c.1190. The tower arch is C13 and the side aisles are C14. The font is Norman, and the C15 roof has protective angels with shields! More details are available in the church which is usually open during daylight hours. St Peter & St Paulβs church had a thorough restoration in 1887-1889, but there remain many interesting features from earlier times: which makes it a particularly pretty church: quintessentially English!"
