This church building is managed by Churches Conservation Trust.
At first sight, St John the Baptist's Church is a simple rural church, but the stonework of the 13th century porch with its three canopied niches shows clear signs of past splendour, as do the notable decorated windows, the fine Norman doorway with six separate patterns, and the evocative little stone heads that peer out from the carved stone arches. The Norman round tower has a later parapet and belfry openings. Inside there is a delicately carved Decorated chancel arch with leaf motifs on the capitals and corbel heads on the hood mould. This church is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
