The parish church, St John The Evangelist is of the 13th century: it has 13th century north arcade, early 14th century tower, 15th century tower parapet, and it is mainly built in the Early English Gothic style. The church was restored by James Fowler of Louth in 1876.[1] The church is a Grade II* listed building.[2]
