Background
History
]] The small church is built within the remains of the castle, which appears to have been an early Norman bailey, later developing into a strongly fortified manor. The moat of the outer bailey and sometimes the church and churchyard are flooded by the West Glen River. The church is made up of a chancel and a nave dating to the 12th and 13th centuries. The tympanum has a carving of Christ in Majesty with angels. The door of the church probably dates back to the 12th century
