Harrison's description (1911):

ALL SAINTS. Restored in 1878, This picturesque church with gabled tower, in secluded valley, has Nor. arch to tower and traces of Tr.-Nor. and E.E. work, but is chiefly Dec. The plain font is early work of this style; the stoup and two canopied tombs are also Dec. One of these tombs, formerly used as Easter Sepulchre, is very fine. There are two 17th c. monuments to the Thomas family.

The Rectory is a very interesting old building (late 13th c.) and has been carefully restored and enlarged. There is a newel (spiral) stone staircase and some fine woodwork. A columbarium stands near the ruins of the old Manor House.

At Charlston Farm may be seen the chapel of Alured, Cup-bearer to William the Conqueror. It has been utilised for domestic and other purposes, but two windows can still be seen. Near this is another columbarium.
