Church Rooms & Loft

Church Loft was built in the 15th century, pilgrims stayed in here as a guest of the church. Since then it has been the village jail, stocks, and recent years a venue for events.

The building is timber framed, with later brick in fill, and the upper floor over sails both front and rear. The left hand side is a arch to Church Lane and contains the Village lock-up and whipping post.

The Church Loft has a bell turret, and a particularly fine clock (dated 1668) overhanging the street. The clock mechanism remains within the Church Loft. The clock was restored in 2003. You can now hear it chime again.

Church Rooms are now privately owned and being lovely restored.
