History of St Peter and St Paul
Listed Building
The tower was built in the early to mid-C13 and the spire was added in the late C14. The south aisle was rebuilt in the early C14, and the chancel and south porch were rebuilt between 1345-42 by the Rector William de Longthorne. In the C15 the nave was rebuilt with the clerestory, and the east arch of the tower was raised with heavy buttresses added for support. The north aisle was rebuilt in the late C15 or early C16.
The chancel was completed 1347-1352 and is slightly bigger than the nave.
There is a memorial to Lancelot (Capability) Brown although he never lived in the village.
There is another memorial to John Howland who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620.
