Don't miss the holy well - downhill behind the church to the North East. Source of the River Stour and full of folklore about the martyrdom of St Kenelm.

The church was also doors open at 11am on a Monday. The tympanum above the door and the wooden screen at the altar of the Last Supper are the things most of interest. Plus a couple of nice stained glass windows.
