All Saints

The 13th century bridge that crosses the Ouse in this harmonious old stone village is a relative newcomer in comparison with the church, which dates back to around 980, and possibly even to Roman times.

The outlines of two small round arches above the southern nave arcade are the most visible feature of the original Saxon church.

The nave roof above, with its 12 graceful angels and carved bosses, is thought to date from a 15th century expansion of the church, when the nave was heightened and the north aisle was also built.

The older south aisle incorporates a Lady Chapel at its eastern end; here, the alcove next to the sedilia has a well preserved 13th century wall painting of the Crucifixion.

The Elizabethan tomb opposite is one of four monuments to members of the Mordaunt family, who later became earls of Peterborough.
