Tree: The Full Family Tree
Notes: St Andrew's Church was built between 1350 and 1530 and although its 15th century tower can be seen as you approach the village, it is tucked away in a lane off the market place. The tower has niches in its buttresses, a panelled doorway with roses and foliage and a lofty vaulted ceiling. The porch is also vaulted and over it is a room with a fireplace. Among the most noteworthy features is the 15th century elaborately carved wood chancel screen, once brightly painted but now a rich dark oak, its panels adorned with 12 saints, while a collection of local memorabilia, including the old village whipping post and stocks capable of holding three miscreants at one time, can be seen at the back of the church. Shading the churchyard gate is a fine horse chestnut tree with a trunk that is about 14 feet round and a modern stone memorial commemorates the author Colin Watson.
