Dist:0.6km<br/>The parish church of St Ismael has a fine tapering tower in South Pembs. style. Parts of the church go back to C13, and when a fire destroyed much of the interior of the church a few years ago, masonry fell away at the junction of the nave and chancel, to reveal a large octagonal sandstone column complete with base and capital embedded in the southwall, indicating that much of the medieval fabric of the church remained intact under the Victorian restoration.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Lebanon:built 1838, rebuilt 1876, it stands at the entrance to the village from the east. The original donor of the site intended that the chapel should include a weekly school but in 1851 it was stated that this had been given up for want of pupils: "We live in an agriculture district, the poorer class being too poor to pay for the schooling of their children. The present school master is an old Englishman, William Rouse, being in this country for this some years he has as yet few scholars [so] he has his maintainance chiefly by the Generosity of friends".
