St. John's Church (1997). The Anglican Church (Church of England) was built between 1886 and 1888. There was once talk of replacing it with a bigger church but the First World War intervened and the project was never started. Originally there was a bell tower on the east end of the nave roof but this had to be removed when it became unsafe.
St John's Church and Primary School (1997). The school was opened in 1894. It is still partly funded by the Church.
