Background
Architecture
The church is of flint construction and comprises a nave, south aisle chancel and tower. The unusual layout is due to the church having been extended from the original Norman building and the original church becoming what is now the church's south aisle. The eastern entrance dates from around 1100 and stonework including depictions of humans and animals including bird head grotesques and human-animal hybrids as well as unfinished faces are still visible.
