Background
History
The origins of the church are unclear. The current building was erected in the 12th century but there may have been a Saxon church on the site previously. The chancel was rebuilt in the 1460s and there was some further rebuilding in 1830. A Victorian restoration was carried out by Sidney Gambier-Parry in 1889.
Architecture
The limestone building consists of a nave, north aisle, vestry and chancel with a three-stage west tower supported by diagonal buttresses. The interior includes an 11th-century font and memorials and tombs from various centuries. There are fragments of stained glass from the 15th century. The north west window has glass by Charles Eamer Kempe.
