St Gregory & St Martin’s church is first mentioned in Domesday Book as a 'Minster church' with a cruciform plan. However, the earliest visible remains that can be observed today date from the 13th century. These are the west wall, the west buttresses aisle walls, and the west doorway. The surviving arcades in the nave must also date to the later 13th century. As a result of the founding of the new college by Archbishop Kempe in 1447, the church was rebuilt.

Beautiful church, right in the centre of the village, with shops (Co-op opposite), pubs and tea rooms close by. Nice place to pause for a break.
