The church has 2 Norman doorways and a Norman font. In the church is a monument to Field Marshall Sir John Michel, who lived in Dewlish House. He commanded the last force to take Peking. He looted the Summer Palace in 1860, chartered a ship, and brought all the fixtures and household contents to Dewlish house. Then burnt down the Summer Palace! The main gates to Dewlish House, made of Chinese rust proof metal, are all that remain of the ‘loot’.
