St.Thomas of Canterbury Church. Chertsey Abbey built this church for their tenants here. It is close to ancient droveways to the weald. It is a plain edifice of flint and chalk, though largely of 13th-century construction, it was restored in the 19th century and renovated in 1900 by T. G. Jackson. On the wall are some traces of a painting of the Last Supper, probably of the early 13th century.  It has a shingle with a clock and three bells. Monuments Lord Rendel, d. 1913, of Hatchlands: elaborate wall-tomb, in the medieval style.
