Our Church is an attractive thatched church substantially remodelled by the Victorians with a capacity of around 100 people (with a bit of a squeeze). It stands in a group of eight houses which are just under a mile from the main part of the village. The fabric of the building is in good order with a Quinquennial Inspection carried out in August 2022. After seventy years the church is due to be re-thatched in May 2023 with plans to mark and celebrate this special occasion being discussed. A working party of church and non-church people have carried out extensive works in churchyard and adjacent wood with plans for further enhancements. There are four bells which are rung occasionally, and the church is supported by a group of “Friends” set up in 1950 following some national media publicity about a family of robins which nested in the lectern.
