Church[]
St. James the Less is a small and simple building of C12 Norman origins. It has several small Norman windows and an apsidal east end. The roof is thought to be 13th century and in the 14th century windows were added or enlarged to give more light. There is one bell, cast in Sudbury by Henry Pleasant.[3] Recently uncovered were a series of 13th and 14th century wall paintings.[4]
