History

The church dates from the 13th century. In time it was filled with galleries and the chancel and tower were cut off from the rest of the church by screens of lath and plaster. This was all stripped out during a restoration between 1862 and 1863 by Ewan Christian which cost £1,550 (equivalent to £187,330in 2023). [4] The contractors were Francis and Fox of Cromford. It re-opened on 4 August 1863. [5] A few weeks later it was reported that a new Oak communion table had been provided by Captain Prince, The Study, Bonsall, a stained glass window depicting the Apostles Peter and Paul by Edmundson and Son of Manchester had been given by the Revd. Robert Bickerstaff, Rector of Killead, Antrim, a pair of Glastonbury chairs from Revd. G. Bagot, and carved panels for the pulpit given by Mr. Clay. [6]
