The Church of Saint John the Baptist is around 900 years old and is a very interesting building to explore. It has two effigies of knights: one is late 14th century, carved in wood; the other is dated to 1240, carved in stone. The church is of late Norman period. Although it has been enlarged and altered, much of the original work remains. There are great views from the churchyard, too.
