The parish church, which is dedicated to St John the Baptist, was established during the 13th century by Sir James de Ilketshall. The church became part of the holdings of Bungay Nunnery in 1267 when Sir James failed to repay a loan to the nuns.[3][6][7][8] A motte-and-bailey castle, known as The Mount, is located in the east of the parish.
