May 2015 - The parish church of All Saints. It was rebuilt between 1861 and 1864 by T.H.Wyatt replacing an earlier church on the same site. It is generous for the tiny size of the hamlet it serves, however, when it was built it catered for the nearby Langton Long House, a large mansion with an army of servants. The mansion was demolished in 1949. The church is in the later English style, cruciform, of flint with stone bands; and has a pinnacled tower, 57 feet high. It has a fine Victorian interior.
