St Mary the Virgin

Built of local ironstone, St Mary's dates almost entirely from the 14th century, with the nave and chancel from the beginning of the century and the tower and spire from about 50 years later. The result is a very pleasing and harmonious whole.

Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity is potentially located on the site of an earlier Saxon Minster, however building of the current church commenced in the early 12th century. The subterranean charnel chapel houses one of only two remaining in situ medieval ossuaries (collections of human bones) in England.
