Contents

History

The church was built in the 11th century and extended, including the tower, in the 15th. [1] A Victorian restoration, between 1845 and 1850, included the addition of the north aisle and rebuilding the chancel. [2]

Architecture

The limestone building had stone slate roofs. It consists of a nave with south porch, chancel, north aisle and west tower. [1] The tower contains four bells, the oldest of which date from 1720. [3]

The nave was divided by a cross wall, with a loft for the priest above, but this was removed in the 19th century. [3] There is an organ above the chancel arch. [4]

A series of Saxon carvings, including one of the crucifixion, were rediscovered during rebuilding work in 1850. [4] They predate the Norman conquest and follow the Syrian tradition. [3] They are dated to around 1050. [5] The carvings were originally built into the chancel arch and are now in the nave. [6]

The previous altar is Romanesque, [7] and now used as a credence table. [3] The font is from the 15th century, and includes a carving of the Green Man. [3] The south porch was built in the 15th century and contains a Saxon sundial. [8]

In the churchyard the remains of steps and shaft of a medieval cross can be seen. [3] [9]
