This is a small 14th century church scarcely touched in the 19th century except for the windows, and reroofed and redecorated in 2005. It has a 13th century font and some 18th century monuments. Note the two large buttresses on the north wall. The churchyard was and is a bog, hence the name. Church registers date from 1653.
