The village is home to three churches and places of worship.
St. Nicholas Church which has been at the heart of the community for more than 700 years. Currently, it is without a resident Vicar and the services are held on a rota with several nearby parishes. However, we do have two excellent Lay Ministers and two excellent Churchwardens taking care of everyone. Regularly we are visited by Vicars and Ministers from the Diocese and were recently visited by The Rt. Revd. Graham Usher, Bishop of Norwich, who led the service for the victims of the Ashill fire.
