Background
History
The site of the church has been occupied since the 7th century and the present church dates back to around the 11th century. The church was given a Grade I listing by Historic England in 1966.
Description
The church houses, in a glass case, a whip 6 feet long with a lash of 7 ft 1 in, attached to which is a purse which previously contained 30 silver coins (one penny of Edward I remains), and three pieces of wych elm wood (originally four). This was used in a ceremony on each Palm Sunday until 1846, in connection with a tenancy agreement for a property in Broughton.
