==History== The church, which is dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin is one of the oldest round-tower churches in England and was restored in 1869. Many of its stained glass windows were installed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and designed by C. E. Kempe and Co. and James Powell and Sons.
