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.
