Background
Architecture
Inside the church, to the east of the door is a 14th-century piscina. In the west wall are five corbels. The upper two are plain and suggest the position of a former gallery. The lower three have medieval carvings of faces. The font is octagonal and dates from the 14th century. Also dating from the 14th century are two memorials in the south wall that are partly hidden by the wall and the raised floor.
