Remains of a 11th century abbey church adapted to serve as the parish church. There was an abbey here as early as the 7th century. This was refounded as a Benedictine abbey in the late 10th century. The abbey was disbanded by Henry VIII and part of the nave survives. The west front features superb medieval carving.
