 St Andrew. So much restored in 1840 that it appears an Early Victorian building. The West tower is hardly taller than the nave roof and has a spire. The tower arch is characteristically thin and bodyless. - PLATE. Chalice. 1562; Paten, 1617; Breadholder, 1757. - MONUMENTS. Two epitaphs to George Viscount Grandison 1699 and the Rev. Edward Bouchier 1775, of identical design.
