It's not every day that you come across a thatched church. This wonderful little building was constructed in 1921. It was the idea of Alfred Manger, who owned the land and wanted to provide a closer church for local parishioners. Manger died in 1917 but his family carried out his wish and had the church built in memory of those who lost their lives in the First World War.
