Early Norman with later additions up to the 15th century, this
little church stands as it has for 900 years between the two
hamlets of Broughton and Elslack. Rather cold in winter, on a
fine summer's evening with the curlews calling and the huge
beech trees rustling in the breeze it is a wonderful place.
There are two fine but damaged statues of Mary and Child,
rediscovered and replaced in the 19th century; a set of three
bells in the tower; the family pew of the Tempest family who
still live in the big house.
The Rogation service with procession and the candlelit Carol
Service are the two biggest of the year in this tiny rural parish
that had more inhabitants 200 years ago than it does now. It is
a fine place for weddings, and was charmingly 'reviewed' by Alan
Bennett in his diaries.
