The Church of All Saints is to the north of the village, about 1 mile (1.6 kilometres) north of the A13 main road and just south of the A127. Although it had fallen into disrepair after many years of disuse, it was returned to regular use in March 2013 by the Orthodox Church,[3] and now has weekly services.
