This sweet little village holds considerable charm, with its stream flowing down its high street, a place built with warm old brick and thatch. An ancient Court House of the Bishops of Winchester can be found near All Saints Church with its noble Norman tower. There is one treasure that’s worth a visit inside this Church - the great square font of black Tournai marble, carved with birds and beasts, and two scenes from the story of Adam and Eve.
