Note that the cafe is cash only though! Took a detour to get here, then couldn't buy anything :(

A nice example of a medieval building with considerable 19th century modifications. A highlight is the ornate alabaster tomb to Sir Edmund de Thorpe who died in 1417 in Normandy.

There are bike racks in the car park outside if you're popping in. There are a few outdoor picnic tables so you can keep an eye on your bike.
