All Saints' church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2037096 as we see it today dates mainly from the 14th and 15th centuries.  Interestingly, its tower is not at the west end but at the south-west corner of the building.  The perhaps oldest part of the church is the south doorway > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2037114 which is believed to date from the 12th century.  Inside the church there is an unusual baptismal font with a round bowl and a cable mould around its top.  It is thought to be contemporary with the south doorway and perhaps part of an older church that stood on the site.  In the north-west corner lies the effigy of a knight > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2037159.  Tradition has it that he is Sir Edmund de Berry who died in 1433 and lived at a site that is now called Berry Hall.  The church was extensively restored in the late 19th century and the furnishings date from this time, although the C16 poppy heads were retained.  The nave south-east window contains restored panels > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2037140 that once formed part of the chancel east window - they were made in the Flemish style by Clutterbuck of London in around 1850.  The stunning new chancel east window > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2037128 was installed in 1952.  It is by Albert Finch who used a new technique which gives a great depth of colour.

Late C12 circular font with leaf trail carving.
