A Grade I listed Hawksmoor church, St Alfege Church has historical associations going back to Saxon times. It stands on the spot where St Alfege, an archbishop of Canterbury was martyred by the Danes in 1012.
The present church was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor and built in 1714 to replace the original, which collapsed in a storm in 1710. It has recently been wonderfully re-lit and re-decorated.
