A Saxon church, Huna\u2019s Church, stood on this site, but was completely replaced in the 12th century by a Norman church, much of which still stands today. The church was altered and improved in the late 15th century, giving it its present perpendicular style aspect, but has been little altered since.  The parish was very small, and remains so to this day.<br \/>\nNotable feature inside include a wall painting, seemingly of the Royal Coat of Arms from the Elisabethan period, some very old oak pews, and the wagon-style nave ceiling with carved wooden bosses, all different. Those interested in such things can purchase a booklet about the church. Services are monthly.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1015\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1015\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/HoneyCh6844.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/HoneyCh6844-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Church interior\" title=\"HoneyCh6844\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1015\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1015\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">West (tower) end<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_1016\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1016\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/HoneyCh6845.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/HoneyCh6845-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Church interior\" title=\"HoneyCh6845\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1016\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1016\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">East (chancel) end<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_1017\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1017\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/HoneyCh6846.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/HoneyCh6846-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Wall painting\" title=\"HoneyCh6846\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1017\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1017\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elizabethan wall painting<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_1018\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1018\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/HoneyCh6847.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/HoneyCh6847-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Ceiling\" title=\"HoneyCh6847\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1018\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nave ceiling<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This church is notable for its unusually small size and its age.
