St Cuthbert’s sits in peaceful and secluded wooded grounds on the southern edge of the village. The lower section of the tower dates to the 11th century. The bells are some of the oldest in the county, installed in 1450.
The churchyard contains the base of a listed Saxon cross, pre-dating the church and the thought provoking grave of WWII pilot Clare Connor (full story in church). the Saxon inner arch and the 14th century chancel arches show evidence of wall paintings.
Visitors are assured of a warm welcome, with drinks and light refreshments being served, donations accepted.
A church has stood on this site for 1000 years. The current church has been the subject of four documented restorations, 1450, 1778, 1858 and finally in 2013 at a cost of £130,000 funded by English Heritage.
