LOCATION

Although the church is not located at the centre of the village, it dominates the area, sited at the top of a hill on the southeast corner of the main crossroads. Other notable landmarks are sited on the remaining comers, namely:-

  1. The Cross Keys public house, the current building was erected in 1878. The Cross Keys is also a religious sign, in this case, the insignia of the Holy See. This is an old and popular sign but it is surprising that such a "tainted" symbol should have survived the Reformation.
     
     
  2. Sleepers Farm, a late 15th century timber framed house under a thatched roof. The cross-wing at the south end is jettied (in a timber-framed building, the projection of an upper storey beyond the storey below made by the beams and joists and the lower storey oversailing the external wall. On the outer ends is placed the sills of the walling for the storey above) back and front and is supported on brackets. Inside, the remains of the original timbers can still be seen. During reconstruction work in 1967, a bundle of parish officer's papers were found, which had remained hidden for 130 years.
     
     
  3. A modern building, housing the local branch library and information centre.
