The church, dedicated to St John the Baptist, dates from the 11th Century. In the 19th Century a new church was effectively built on to the Norman tower. It was designed by Samuel Sanders Teulon and it has been described by a President of the Royal Institute of British Architects as "one of the most interesting buildings in England". The reredos displays in detail the story of the Last Supper. The stonework is finished in local red sandstone and honey coloured Cotswold stone. It has ornate and elaborate decoration of the interior, with paintings of Biblical texts.
