Churches
The Anglican parish church is St Bartholomew's. The clock on its steeple was converted to electronic mechanism in June 2008 (previously being wound by hand). There is also the redundant Church of St Peter which was probably built as a private chapel for the bishops of London who then owned the village.

Famous quotes containing the word churches:
“The law of God is a law of change, and ... when the Churches set themselves against change as such, they are setting themselves against the law of God.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Good churches are not built by bad men; at least, there must be probity and enthusiasm somewhere in the society. These minsters were neither built nor filled by atheists.”

My woods the young fir balsams like a place
Where houses all are churches and have spires.
