The church was largely rebuilt during restoration around 1860.
The font is Norman with tiny volutes at the edges and a top frieze of something like lambrequins. These have been described as the remains of locking staples used to prevent witches stealing the holy water.[2] The stained glass has various 16th-century Flemish bits in the south aisle window.[3]
The two stage west tower contains a bell dating from 1773 and made by Abraham Bilbie of the Bilbie family.[4]
