Background

History

A church with a priest is recorded in the Domesday Book, but none of the fabric from that church has survived. The nave and possibly part of the chancel date from the 12th century, with the rest of the chancel and the lower part of the tower from the following century. The south porch was probably added in the 14th century. The upper part of the tower was added either in the 15th, or in the 17th century. The west end of the nave was partitioned off as a schoolroom after 1793, and the church was restored and re-pewed in 1854–55. In 1894–95 there was a further restoration by J. P. St Aubyn and Henry Wadling, during which a chancel arch was inserted, windows were renewed, the ceilings were…

Architecture

In the north wall of the chancel is an aumbry, and in the south wall is a piscina. The pews are box pews, one of which has a desk dated 1707 attached to its back. Also in the church is a pair of Jacobean seats with carved canopies.
