Background
History
The church was built in 1822 replacing an older church; a church has been present on the site since the medieval era. The old church was vested in the Trust on 1 December 1986. The church has been semi-converted inside to make it habitable for campers (or what travel-writers and the Church of England are calling Champing).
Architecture
The interior of the church contains its original Georgian fittings. These include a panelled gallery on the north and west sides that is carried by Doric columns, a triple decker pulpit on the south wall with a sounding board, and box pews. One of these pews carries the name and the coat of arms of the Farsyde family. There are also memorial tablets to members of the Farsyde family. The font dates from the early 18th century.
