History

Internal evidence dates the church to originally be from the 12th century, as only a nave. Aisles were later added in the 13th and 14th centuries.

In the 1600s, the original tower collapsed and was replaced by a small wooden belfry for many years.

A nearby building that used to serve as a vestry, chapel and school was demolished in 1855 and replaced by the current vestry.

The current replacement tower was built in 1877. [2]

Architecture

The nave is 64 feet long by 17 feet wide. The chancel adds 16 feet in length with a width of 26 feet. The two aisles add around 10 ft each. The modern tower is around 12 feet square. [3]
