    Holy Cross is an impressive church which traces its origins back to the 12th century and boasts the addition of two chapels in the 14th century.

    Notable features include an eye-catching stained glass window crafted by Capronnier, a memorial dedicated to Sir Richard de Westcote – regarded as the earliest known resident of the village – and a complete peal of six resounding bells.

    In the churchyard, a poignant landmark resides in the form of the final resting place of Viscount Montgomery of Alamein.

    Not to be confused with the similarly named Holy Cross church in Binstead, Isle of Wight, "the current building dates from the 12th Century but it is believed there may have been an earlier Saxon church on or near the site. Field Marshall Lord Montgomery, who was a regular worshipper at Holy Cross, is buried in the graveyard."

    The building was modified in the 13th- and then again 15th-century and went through substantial restoration in 1863.

    It is Grade I listed since 1963.
