The church of St Pancras dates originally from the 11th century but has been enlarged and rebuilt several times.
The present steeple dates from 1854 and follows in the tradition of onion-shaped domes which are characteristic of
Savoyard and Piemontese religious architecture of the late 19th century.
The original covering of tin plate had rusted badly and was replaced in 1989 by stainless steel and gold leaf.
