Church History

St Faith's church was rebuilt from about 1390 to 1420.  It has no later additions but was sympathetically repaired in the 1870s.  Much of the painted ceiling in the nave is original, having been whitewashed in the 17^th century.  The chancel ceiling pattern was repainted in 1880, as insufficient original pattern survived.  On the dado of the rood screen are four polychrome panels, which date from 1420 and depict St Edmund, St Edward the Confessor and two bishops.  All colour is original.  It is a rare sight in Hertfordshire, being the only figure paintings to survive the period.  The font and chancel windows were put in during 19^th century repairs.  The east window is to a design by Henry Holiday.  There are five bells.  In the churchyard an early preaching cross can be seen.
