The church is a prominent feature of the village, but is inconspicuous from the Market Place. In 2006 it was damaged when gale force winds blew down two of the four pinnacles, one of which fell onto the roof causing damaging costing more than £100,000 to repair."Storm-damaged church needs backing", Rutland & Stamford Mercury, 2 February 2007.
