Splendid Gothic church, built from the 1460s when its predecessor burned out. It's mostly late Perpendicular style, with a richly decorated tower of 135 ft (45 m). Notable in the chancel is a mural of the Last Judgement. Just west of the tower is the grave of Elihu Yale (1649-1721), benefactor of Yale University so his devious finances and slave-trading came to a good end. St Giles' remains active as an Anglican parish church.

This was once the focus of a lead-mining area. Medieval miners were thwarted by flooding, but from 1845 steam-powered pumps were installed, and drainage shafts were driven from lower down the valley. The enterprise folded in 1914 when the price of lead and zinc fell and the cost of steam-coal rose. The area has been landscaped into a country park, open free daylight hours. Features include the beam engine house, winding engine, boiler houses, and areas for processing the ore, but there's no interior access.
