St Mary's church viewed from Burston Road. St Mary's church > 1366828 - 1366845 has a round tower which dates from the 10th or 11th century, with the two light windows with characteristic zig-zag carving were added in Norman times. Both south and north doorways > 1366822 have Norman zig-zag decorations also, as has the tower arch > 1367242. It is believed that the nave dates at least in part from Saxon times. The south chapel was added in the 13th century. The 14th century north chapel > 1366835 used to be the chapel of the Kemp family, lords of the manor from 1324 until the early 20th century - the many memorials on its walls are to family members > 1366838. The north porch is a C15 addition. St Mary's has a magnificent 15th century hammerbeam roof with rows of angels attached to it. The octagonal font > 748803 is 14th century. The church was extensively restored in Victorian times and the furnishings date from this time, although some of the original bench ends have been retained. St Mary's church is open every day.
