St Stephens Church
The first record of the church of St Stephen is from 1269 and it's thought to have been founded in Norman times by the landowning family in Trematon Castle. Most of the church is now from the 15th Century although there is some Norman stonework remaining at the base of the tower and the font is also Norman. The church underwent a Victorian restoration in 1872. A flower bed just outside the church is thought to be a font bowl from late mediaeval times. There is also a mediaeval Gothic lantern cross which was previously in the grounds of the vicarage.
