Dist:0.7km<br/>Here is a Norman church that still has much of its original fabric intact. It is unique in still having the original 14th century mediaeval stone spire. You won’t find another anywhere in the county. There are stone spires, but all are reconstructed or Victorian add-ons. Above the priest’s door, a Norman window has been blocked. The unusual roof configuration is reflected inside where the great tiebeams and kingposts support it. The brick arches in turn are supported by piers with engaged columns. Dormer windows in the roof admit light. I have never before seen a font built completely from bricks. It is said to be 13th century; the five columns that support the bowl certainly are. There is a beautiful Norman west doorway with four orders of decoration only visible from inside the tower. In a similar situation to that at Westhall.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This church has been gradually enlarged since it was first built by the Normans. It is believed that some of the bricks used in its construction are the oldest British bricks in existence. Their size proves them not to be Roman.
