Parish church
The oldest parts of the Church of England parish church of St James date from the 12th century. The building was largely rebuilt in the 15th century, and restored in 1902–03. It is a Grade II* listed building.[2]
The west tower has a ring of five bells. The fourth bell was cast in Exeter in about 1499. The Pennington family of bellfounders of Stoke Climsland, Cornwall cast the second bell in 1781 and the tenor in 1807. Llewellins and James of Bristol cast the third bell in 1884. John Taylor & Co of Loughborough cast the treble in 1904.[3]
