The church that visitors see today was built in the early 12th Century by the Norman family – the de Faukehams – that this village is named for. However, a wooden Saxon church existed on this site prior to that and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Although much restoration work has been carried out over the centuries, the church’s distinguishing features include the Norman font, the 17th Century bell, the Walter family brasses, the Nave’s 13th century wall painting, and the Chancel’s stained glass window.
