Heritage listing

Reason for designation: Graded II* on account of its surviving medieval fabric, including its fine C15 arch-braced roofs. History: Earliest fabric to nave south wall and lower part of west wall likely to be C14, transepts C15 or C16, extended eastwards and chancel rebuilt in early C17, the whole restored by Henry Kennedy in 1848, including the rebuilding of the upper part of the west wall. Exterior: Parish church. Roughly coursed rubblestone with ashlar dressings; slate roofs. Original roughly cruciform plan with transepts extended to east to form square east end in present T-shaped plan (see History). Windows all C19. South side of nave has wide C20 stone porch to right; double doors with strap hinges and timber framing to gable; 3-light ogee cinquefoil-headed window under square label to centre and broad single- light cinquefoil-headed window to left with 2 quatrefoils above to square arch without label. West wall has narrow ogee cinquefoil-headed window under square label to lower part; upper part is inset having a gabled bellcote with cross, coping and chamfered off-sets; pointed arch housing single bell dated 1610. South side has 3-light ogee cinquefoil-headed window under square label to left with another to right in angle with south transept. This has a similar window except there is panel tracery above the cinquefoil lights, the whole set in a pointed arch with head-stops. Eastward projection of transept on stepped plinth, carried round to chancel and north transept projection, has 2-light cinquefoil-headed window with sexfoil above in pointed hollow-chamfered arch; identical window to east wall of north transept projection. Chancel window similar to that in south transept except that arch is hollow chamfered; north transept has identical window to south transep
