The Grade I listed Church of England parish church of Saint Leonard has Norman origins: the north and south doorways, the chancel arch and a window in the north wall survive from this period. The cylindrical font is an important Norman sculpture depicting eight virtues, eight vices, the Church, the Evil One and a six-winged seraph. The Norman building had an apse, of which the foundations were discovered during restoration work in 1865. The chancel was rebuilt in the 14th century with a flat east wall and east window. The bell tower was added in 1631.
