The oldest parts of the Grade 1 listed St Margaret's Church, the nave and chancel, date to the first decade of the 13th century, with the north and south aisles being added during the 14th century and the tower in 1884, but it is widely thought that the current stone building replaced a much earlier timber church that was built sometime between 900 and 1085. The Sussex Marble font within the church dates to the late C12; before construction of the current church and, based on it's girth, the large yew tree to the south east of the chancel is 1,000 - 1,100 years old, being possibly contemporary with the previous structure.

Within the church are two stone effigies of a knight and his lady. These are of Lord of the Manor John de Ifield (1265 -1343) and his wife Margery (1270 - 1347, often referred to as Lady Margaret).
