The building is architecturally interesting, but the internal effect is marred by the removal of the plaster, thus exposing the rough masonry of "rubble," and the irregularity is much emphasised by "pointing." On the opposite side of the river is Cropthorne, surmounting a steep bank.

Here are many picturesque cottages of timber and thatch, and in this village of orchards, the effect of the street is much heightened if it be seen in the time of the apple-blossom.

In this and the neighbouring parishes we may still find much of that rustic beauty which we have learned to associate with the names of Birket Foster and Mrs.Allingham.
The church contains many points of interest.

As we enter we cannot but be impressed by the simple arches of the Norman nave, the carved pews of mediaeval date, and the Jacobean monuments--their once gaudy colouring mellowed by age.

Few churches have been treated with such gentle consideration, and rarely do we find the true Gothic feeling so carefully preserved.
