The church of St John the Baptist is a large cruciform church with a Perpendicular central tower. There are several interesting monuments outside, by the south transept, a small stone cloister of two vaulted bays shelters a decorated tomb chest, perhaps that of the founder of the church. In the north transept is another richly decorated tomb recess, with stone coffin-lids, and in the south transept a mid-19th century Gothic monument to a former rector by A. W. Pugin. At one time, above this was a window designed by Pugin and executed by William Wailes. This has since been replaced by clear glass.
