Hiking

St Mary's Church was first mentioned in 1227. In the 19th century, it fell into disrepair, and was subsequently rebuilt in 1856 by the architect William White. He used flint-and-brick materials and gave the church a style specific to the 1850s known as "constructional polychromy" (the practice of architectural decoration using a variety of colours). The tower, I find, is particularly attractive. Worth stopping at: it's a lovely little church.
