Lying in the hamlet of Tugford, St Catherine's church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II-listed building. The church bells date back to the 17th century and the tower was built in the 18th. It features two Sheela na gig sculptures - quasi-erotic stone carvings - just inside the south doorway.
