Description and History – This church is built in the transitional style between Romanesque style and Gothic style. It was probably built around 1200 but has been used as a Protestant church since the 18th century. It now looks like a relatively modern church and has been much modified and is now roofed and measures 8.2m x 13.3m. A transitional window is the only feature that gives away its age. The church is generally kept closed but is open for services. This is the only church still in use here.

Difficulty – East to spot and easy to get to.
