    Hiking

    This small, simple parish church is a blend of Norman origins and significant Victorian restoration, situated toward the north end of the village. It is a Grade II listed building and, though historically of unknown dedication, is now dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra.

    ​Norman and Gothic Architecture: The church contains a 13th-century south porch and a Norman-era doorway with a semicircular arch. While the building was extensively rebuilt in 1872, some of the oldest parts still date back to the 12th century.
    ​Historical Font: The interior features a 12th-century font that was famously found in a hedge in the 1920s and subsequently returned to the church.

    Hiking

    Many Clavell relatives buried here, but a surprising (to me!) Celtic influence in the graveyard.
