The earliest part of the Grade I listed parish church of St Oswald is the tower, dating from the 15th century and Perpendicular in style.[3] The rest is mostly Victorian, built 1861–62 by T.C. Hine, father of George Thomas Hine, though the south nave wall remains from an earlier reconstruction completed in 1802.[4]

The site of Whimpton Village, a deserted medieval village, is about 1.25 miles (2.0 km) west of Dunham.
