Founded in the 12th century, this historic church was built to serve the increasing community that grew around William the Conqueror's Benedictine abbey. Inside, find a wall painting of St Margaret of Antioch and the alabaster tomb of Sir Anthony Browne. Browne was a courtier and confidante to Henry VIII, who gave him the abbey.

The church is a wonderful place to explore, both inside and out, to marvel at the sheer amount of history it's seen.
