Background
History
The building of the current church was started around 1260, on the site of a former Norman building which dated back to around 1100. Henry de Grofhurst, rector from 1311 until his death in 1361, was mostly responsible for building St Margaret's Church. He is memorialised in a monumental brass in the centre of the chancel.
