The early Medieval church of St. Mary's was destroyed by the sea in the 15th century. Its replacement, the church of St. Nicholas, lost its roof in a storm in the early 17th century and was abandoned. Much of it was incorporated in the new church of 1858-9, which added a new roof and windows, but kept to the basic plan of its predecessor.
