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. 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.

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