Description:
The church was impropriate in the adjoining Preceptory of Knights Templars. Of the latter only an insignificant portion of a strong castle survives. Beside this, is a well sacred to St. John Baptist, to whom the church also appears to have been dedicated. The church ruin has in its east gable a triple-light window of early English character, so that in all probability the building dates from the earliest post-invasion period.
