The medieval and Victorian Holy Rood Church was demolished in 1968, due to structural damage caused by subsidence; this was replaced by a modern CLASP pre-fabricated concrete building, which has also been demolished. The war memorial stands close to the site of the medieval church, in a part of the churchyard which is now closed.
