St Michael and All Saints' Church was built in the 14th century. The Croft monument, the tomb of Sir Richard Croft and his wife, is located in the chancel; it was formerly in the north chapel. The tomb bears the recumbent effigies of the couple below a canopy. On the west end are the carved figures of saints in two tiers: two female saints in the upper tier, and two male saints in the lower tier. Between the male saints, in niches, are smaller figures holding shields or boards. Sir Richard died in 1509.
