[edit] Parish church
The parish church, dedicated to St Wyllow, was built in the 14th century and refashioned in the 15th. The 16th century benchends and panels from family pews have been preserved in the careful restoration by E. H. Sedding.[3] The church contains the brasses of Thomas de Mohun, ca. 1440, and John Mohun and his wife, 1508.[4]
