1,000 years of animals, both carved and real!

A snake with a protruding tongue, two fan-tailed birds and a strange animal, all Viking in character and 1,000 years old, are carved on each side of the chancel arch in this simple aisleless church.

In the 16th-century the church was partly demolished and converted to secular use – the chancel became a dog kennel and the rugged Norman tower a pigeon house! It was restored in 1620.
