The church of St. Barnabas dates back
to 1656 although the site is older. The original church was destroyed
during a Royalist attack on the nearby castle in the civil war. Interesting
features include some beautiful 17th century marquetry panels on the pulpit,
a 14th century effigy of an unnamed woman with 14th and 15th century tiles
set into the south wall and a blocked tower arch of about 1200 which can
be seen in the west wall. The immaculate churchyard has a wonderful topiary
hedge which extends around the adjacent large house.
