Background

History

The present church has 12th-century origins though it was built on the site of an Anglo-Saxon church and then largely rebuilt in the 15th century, including the addition of the ornate south chapel of 1442 for Walter, Lord Hungerford. The tower has a base from the 14th century but the rest was rebuilt in 1633. The church was restored in 1875–78, when the roof was raised, the chancel extended and the interior rearranged. A vestry was added in 1907. Traces remain of a west gallery, which, prior to the reordering in the 1870s, contained the Seede organ. The gallery was taken down when the organ was enlarged and moved to the east end of the north aisle. There was also a gallery in St Katherine's…
