The Church of England parish church of Saint Andrew has an 11th-century Saxo-Norman chancel that combines characteristically Saxon double-splayed windows with Norman flat buttresses[11] and has reached Grade I listed status.
[12] The nave and two-bay arcades are Early English Gothic.[11]
The north aisle is now railed off to form the Tichborne Chapel, with monuments to members of the manorial family[11] Inside the chapel is a tomb with full-sized horizontal images of Sir Benjamin Tichborne (d.1621) and his wife Amphillis.
It is rare in being dedicated as a Roman Catholic chapel within a pre-Reformation Anglican Parish Church.[13]
The west tower was added in 1703 and is built of blue and red brick.[11] It has a ring of six bells cast between 1737 and 1887.
