The Church (St. Mary) is a small fabric, in the perpendicular style, with a handsome tower, containing five bells. The poor have £20 a year from Tremayne's Charity, as noticed at page 801. Here is a small Bible Christian chapel, erected in 1832. H. Rundle, G.C. Bloye, J.S. Lethbridge, J.H. Gill, and Hy. Hoidge, have estates in the parish.
