St Mary's church overlooks the River Greta, in an area of marvellous scenic beauty. Inside the mainly Victorian church is a Norman font, which was discovered taking a centuries-long bath in the river about a hundred years ago. It was brought back into the dry church interior and hopefully will be around to enjoy in another 8oo years!

The first church here dates to the Saxon period, and the current building retains bits of that early church and the subsequent Norman church. Most of St Andrew's is distinctly Victorian, however, the result of a lavish rebuilding by GE Street for Sir Tatton Sykes II beginning in 1872.
