St Margaret's church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2117193 dates from the 13th century but was extensively restored in Victorian times. The baptismal font is medieval - it is believed to have come from another church, perhaps the demolished church of St Peter in Linstead Magna of which no trace remains - and there are two medieval benches with carved figures at the west end which did come from St Peter's.
Good set of 18 poppyhead bench ends in nave, 2 with carved armrests: some are said to have come from the now- demolished Linstead Magna church.
Graded I for intact medieval fabric.
