Parish church This is a heavy Wealden Church with walls of plastered Bargate sandstone. At first glance it looksc.1300, but in fact was built in five general phases. Masonry in the chancel and W walls outlines the original plain nave and square chancel ofc.1100. The late Romanesque three-bay S arcade was addedc.1190-1200. The three-bay N aisle was addedc.1290-1300, with unusual arch mouldings; the chancel and chancel arch are early 14thc. Chancel additions, spire, belfry and bell-cage are 15thc. Victorian work consists of the N aisle and vestry. N aisle was rebuilt by Woodyer in 1845, but retains its original arcade. A vestry was added at the NE in 1894.
