in the early 1960s. Church The parish church, in the Diocese of Hereford, is situated by the River Teme and was constructed about 1211; it is dedicated to Saint Andrew. The river has gradually eroded towards the church. In 1906, whilst undergoing repairs, the chancel collapsed into the river and had to be replaced by a smaller construction. At the beginning of the 21st century major engineering works had to be undertaken to defend the church from the river, which now flows right alongside part of the building's foundations. The church contains a brass plaque as war memorial to parishioners who died serving in World War I as well as a Roll of Honour of all who served. The churchyard contains a Commonwealth war grave of a World War I Royal Naval Reserve officer.
