Hiking

St John’s is a pretty Norman parish church that contains one the finest crypts in the country. The Grade I-listed church was built in the 12th century and modified over the next 300 years. The half-timbered two-storey south porch was added in the 16th century. The grave of Maud Watson can be found near the porch and south wall. Watson became the first Ladies’ Singles Lawn Tennis Champion at Wimbledon in 1884 after beating her sister in the final.
