Background

History

The church originated in the 12th century, the nave of that church being the south aisle of the present church. In the 14th century the nave was remodelled by the addition of a chapel, and a wide north aisle, a chancel, and a tower were built. In 1846–47 the aisle and chapel were reconstructed by John Laing, and in 1870 a burial chapel was added to the north of the church. In 1883 the church was remodelled, the north aisle being converted to form the nave and chancel, and the former nave becoming the south aisle.

Architecture

Between the nave and the aisle is a five-bay arcade carried on alternate circular and octagonal piers with chamfered bases and capitals. In the south wall of the aisle is a piscina (or an aumbry). The two-manual pipe organ dating from 1878 is by Nicholson and Lord. There is a ring of eight bells. Six of these were cast in 1769 by Thomas Rudhall, and two by Taylor's of Loughborough in 1947.
