The church of St Cecilia > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1743630 is situated immediately south of the busy A47 road. - St Cecilia is a rare dedication shared by only three medieval churches in England. The church was scheduled for closure after a storm greatly damaged the building in 1976 but thanks to a combined effort of the small community the church has since been fully restored. Another major restoration took place in 1706, involving the rebuilding of the east wall where stones from the then ruined chancel were used > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1743651. One such stone > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1743657 depicting a shield and the date '1706' can be seen higher up on the exterior wall by the north-eastern corner. The original 14th century font has survived, everything else - apart from the restored Hanoverian royal arms - dates from Victorian times.
