URPoint Details
The Church of St Mary the Virgin dates from the 13th and 15th century, built of white stone and has a very elegant 120ft spire. The interior is fine and has splendid bench-end carvings of dragons, a monkey and a jester. A misericord, the hinged projection on the underside of the choir seat dates from about 1200 and is possibly the oldest in England. It has a 120-foot spire which allows it to dominate the plain. Its importance lies in the woodwork and carvings in the church.
