St Mary the Virgin's Church was built in the 14th and 15th centuries, and was restored in the 19th and 20th centuries. The misericords in the chancel are believed to be from the 14th and 15th centuries, possibly originally from St James Abbey near Northampton or Dunston Abbey, but several - including this misericord - may be later. This misericord, on the south side of the chancel, shows Christ's Entry into Jerusalem, supported on each side by grapes and leaves. A praying figure on the battlements above a gate into the city watches over the figure of Christ on a donkey, since damaged.
