Collegiate parish church Of the substantial Norman church on this site, only the crypt survives. A fire in 1694 necessitated the rebuilding of tower, nave, aisles and transepts, all designed by Sir William Wilson and built by Smith of Warwick. The 14thc. chancel and 15thc. Beauchamp chapel were however retained.
