Background
Architecture
The original church was Norman, and traces of this remain in the 12th century sandstone font and fragments of a Norman mask reused on the inside of the porch. Most of the church was rebuilt in the 15th century, except for the tower which is of 13th or 14th century construction. Restorations were carried out in 1845, 1865 (by Thomas Lidstone of Dartmouth), and 1886. The building is built of local stone rubble with red sandstone dressings and 19th century Bathstone windows.
