The church of St. Lawrence, rebuilt in 1876 at a cost of £1,725, is an edifice of red brick in the Early English style, and consists of chancel, nave, south porch and a saddle-back tower at the north-east, containing one bell: it was reopened in January, 1877: there are 175 sittings. The register dates from the year 1538. The living is a discharged vicarage, net yearly value £115, including 25 acres of glebe, with residence, in the gift of the Lord Chancellor, and held since 1904 by the Rev.
