Background
History
The church has a fine 15th-century tower. The building originally comprised a nave and chancel, with an eighteen-bay clerestory and six-bay north and south aisles. When the prosperity of the village suffered, there were insufficient funds to maintain the church, and in the 1690s, the parish obtained permission to demolish the old church and build a much smaller one. This was funded by the sale of lead from the roofs and the bells from the tower. The newer church now sits within the ruins of the old.
