Hi Sue, There are two churches in the village - All Saints - this is an Anglican church. You cannot miss it, it's in the centre of the village! There is a churchyard too, but I'm not sure of the earliest readable gravestones, I think 19c graves should be visible. There is also the Baptist Chapel which is very near All Saints. There is also the Cemetry which is a few minutes walk on the edge of the village. All are worth a walk around.
