[edit] St Peter and St Paul's Church
The church, which dates from the 15th century is huge - several lord of local manors, including the Boleyn family, vied with each other to fund the building of the church.
The church retains quite a lot of its medieval stained glass, however, due to the size of the church, it is dominated by some quite hideous 20th century glass.
[edit] Misericords
SS Peter and Paul was never collegiate, so it is peculiar that it has twenty six, 15th century misericords. These are placed 13 on each side of the choir.
