Church
The parish church, St Margaret was rebuilt in 1850 buff brick to the designs of Stephen Lewin, and was further restored in 1958. St Margaret's is a Grade II listed building.[2]
In the chancel is a recess containing a full length effigy of a knight in chain mail and surcoat, a memorial to Sir William de Hardreshull who died in 1303.[3]
In the chancel floor is a brass with the inscription: "to John Haryinton of Wickham, in the county of Lincoln, who built this chapel, 1592, being lord and patron of Salebie and lieth in st Sepulchres church, London and died 12th May 1599".[3] At the east end of the chancel is the datestone of the old chapel bearing the Haryinton Arms and dated 1591.[3]
The base and shaft of a stone churchyard cross are found in the churchyard.[4]
