History Edit

The building was originally Saxon but has been revised and expanded many times.[2] In the 12th century the chancel was added and the tower in the 14th.

A major Victorian restoration removed some of the Romanesque architecture in the interior of the church.[2]

Several species of bats have been identified in the church.[3]

Architecture Edit

The limestone building has stone slate roofs. It consists of a nave, chancel, south porch and west tower.[1] The tower has a sundial and many gargoyles and grotesques.[4]

Most of the internal furnishing is from the 19th century but there is a font and some of the bench ends which are from the 15th century.[1] There are also some remnants of 14th century stained glass.[1]
