Contents

The church was originally constructed in the 15th century. Other than the tower, it was rebuilt in 1814, and in 1899 a south porch was added and some of the windows were altered. The building was Grade II listed in 1958. [1] In 2013, the National Churches Trust gave a grant of £10,000 towards repairs. [2]

The church is built of stone with a slate roof and consists of a nave, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, and a west doorway with a moulded surround, a Tudor arch and a hood mould, above which is a three-light window with a pointed arch. Over this is a small window with a trefoil head, a clock face and bell openings with two lights, and at the top is an embattled parapet with a central gargoyle on each side. Inside, the dado panelling is reused from 17th-century pews, while the current pews date from the 1899 alterations. [1] [3]
