The Church of England parish church of the Holy Rood has a Norman bell tower.[3] The Gothic windows on the north side of the nave were inserted in the 14th century and some of the windows in the tower were added in the 15th century.[4] The windows on the south side of the nave were probably inserted in the 17th century and the church was heavily restored in the 18th century.[4] The Gothic Revival architect C.C. Rolfe rebuilt the chancel in 1895.[4] The Rectory is Georgian and was built about 1800.[4] Since 1983 Holy Rood has been part of a united benefice with Easington, Brightwell Baldwin and Ewelme.[5]
