Background
History
The church consists of a nave, north and south aisles, chancel and tower. The tower dates from the early 12th century and has a bell inscribed Sancta Fides Ora Pro Nobis, The nave and chancel are 13th century and the nave is unusually shorter than the chancel. The original stone seats run along the chancel wall. At the southern end is the Dale monument, erected by Margaret Dale, the third wife of Roger Dale (d. 1623), in commemoration of him. It shows Margaret and Roger kneeling at each end of a prayer desk with their kneeling daughters at the base. All their hands are missing, as is the head of one of the daughters.
