Background
History
The Norman church was built on the site of an earlier Saxon one, from which some fabric, including the lintel over the south doorway, have been incorporated into the current building. The saddleback tower was added in the 14th century.
Architecture
The limestone building has stone slate roofs. It consists of a nave, chancel, porch and vestry and west tower. The 15th century font sits on a stem with five chamfered faces. The 18th century box pews remain in situ and there is some 15th century stained glass depicting James the Great.
