The church is St. Laurence's, and dates from 1239. The church is on high ground, and was probably the site of an earlier Mercian church, although nothing now remains of the earlier wooden building. There is a 1,348-pipe organ and organist. The tower has a peal of eight bells, rung regularly by the North Worcestershire Ringing Association.
