The church is medieval but was restored in 1899 and a north aisle added. In the churchyard there is a monolith of the type found in Derbyshire stone circles which suggests that the site was used for pagan worship before the church was built. The churchyard houses the grave of Daniel Boswell King of the Gypsies.

The castle is on private land, having been sold off. English Heritage maintains the ruins...but there's no access to the site other than a footpath, which goes past it.

Incredibly muddy at some points following heavy and prolonged rain. We struggled getting around but managed it.
