St Peter and St Paul's Church
The church, which dates from the first part of the 15th century, is an exceptionally complete Perpendicular building. It is huge for the size of the village - several lords of local manors, including the Boleyn family, vied with each other to fund the building of the church. There are many brasses, including to members of the Boleyn family.
The church retains some of its medieval stained glass in the east window and in the south transept south window. The font has a very tall Perpendicular canopy.
St Peter and St Paul's church was never collegiate, so it is peculiar that it has twenty six 15th century misericords. These are placed 13 on each side of the choir.
