The parish church is a Grade II* listed building dedicated to St Germain and dating from the 11th century, with a 13th-century west tower. It was much restored in the 19th century.
The church has a porch over a Norman doorway and a 15th-century font.[2]
In the churchyard is a mediæval churchyard cross which is believed to stand in its original position west of the tower. It is believed to have been restored in 1842 and is a scheduled monument.[3]

Gonville Bromhead's older brother Benjamin Parnell Bromhead succeeded their father as 4th Baronet.[5][6]
