The parish church is a Grade II* listed building dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The tower dates from the 11th century, the rest of the church being 15th-century, with a restoration in 1872. During restoration a Norman font was unearthed below the floor. A late 11th- or 12th-century grave marker lies against the east wall of the chancel.[1][2]
An 1830 Grade II listed octagonal pump house exists here.[3]
Pelham's Pillar is a 128 ft high Grade II listed tower, dating from 1840 to 1849 by E. J. Willson. A plaque above the door commemorates Charles Anderson Pelham, Lord Yarborough who planted 12,532,700 trees in Cabourne High Wood between 1787 and 1828.[4] The column was begun by Pelham's son in 1840, and completed by his grandson in 1849.[5]
