St. Stephen's Church has a Norman nave and chancel. The north porch has a timber-framed gable which protects a Norman doorway. Above this doorway is an early sculpted stone tympanum representing the Archangel Michael fighting with a dragon. There are scallops and dogtooth on the lintel. The font bowl is a moulded octagon, which stands on a plain octagonal pedestal on a circular plinth chamfered to each face of the stem.
