The church of All Saints - C15 bench end

Depicting a post mill.

The church of All Saints > Link - Link - Link was extensively restored during the 19th century because the building had become quite dilapidated. The south door with its wicket gate, however, dates from the 15th century > Link - Link. A small carving at its top depicts a fox preaching to geese. The restored hammerbeam roof rests on corbels rescued from the old building > Link and there are a number of other medieval survivals, perhaps the most noteworthy being the carved bench ends with poppy heads such as the depictions of three passing vices (gluttony: a drunkard > Link - anger: man holding a knife > Link - sloth: a man praying the rosary but falling asleep > Link - all standing in the open jaws of hell), a mermaid, a chalice, a variety of animals, a ship in sail > Link and a post mill (seen here). Only the rood screen dado has survived but it is one of only a few examples depicting not the 12 apostles but Old Testament prophets with scrolls > Link - Link - Link. The C15 font is carved with shields > Link. Of interest are also a few small brasses, C17 ledger stones >Link and a fragment of Elizabethan text on the west wall. The church is open every day.

The model of a windmill > Link in a glass display case at the west end of the south aisle shows the mill which once stood by the harbour until it was destroyed in 1929 in galeforce winds.
