Background
History
The church dates back to the medieval period, though it underwent a major restoration in 1899 which included the addition of a north aisle. The site may have pre-Christian significance; a monolith located in the churchyard is similar to those found in Derbyshire stone circles, suggesting the site was used for worship before the current church was built. The churchyard is also the resting place of Daniel Boswell, known as the "King of the Gypsies."
