History
St Gregory's was built in the 14th century, perhaps as early as 1300. It is cruciform, with an octagonal crossing tower whose upper stage was added in the 15th century. The nave has north and south aisles with four-bay arcades. There is a south porch with a sundial over its outer arch and a statue of St Gregory the Great over its inner arch. Fragments of Medieval stained glass survive in the western windows of the aisles.
