Background
History
The first documentary reference to the church is in 1291 but the present church was not built until 1724. During a restoration in 1863 a gallery was added to the west end, the roof was re-slated and the walls were plastered. In 1895–97 a major restoration was carried out by the Chester firm of Douglas and Fordham when the plaster and the gallery were removed, and a new east window was installed. The other windows were replaced, and a new pulpit, lectern and pews were added. The arch of the porch was replaced, a stone cross was added to the east gable and the bell turret was remodelled. In 1917 a vestry was added to the north side of the church by the same firm of architects, now known as…
Architecture
The church is built in limestone with sandstone dressings. The roof is of slate with stone ridge tiles. Its plan consists of a nave and chancel in one chamber, a south porch, a north vestry and a bellcote with a single bell at the west.
