In a rural setting on the eastern edge of this large village just east of Stevenage. Inside are, rare for the county, Saxon remains in the wall through which the south arcade is punched with an in situ carving above. Also in the south aisle is a Purbeck marble knight of the mid 13th century. The chancel was rebuilt by Henry Woodyer in 1877-78 and H.R. Gough restored the church in 1882, his are the two large arches separating the north chancel chapel from the chancel.
