A Victorian restoration by Henry Woodyer between 1874 and 1876 included the addition of the organ chamber and a vestry. [4] [2] [1] [5]

In 2015 the south doorway was cleaned and given protection against further decay. [6]

The parish is part of the Windrush benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester. [7]

The surround of the south doorway is Norman with a double row of "beakheads" each slightly different and representing demons and a saw-tooth pattern decoration on the outside. [2] [11] [12] The doorway has two mass dials. [13] [3]
