History

The church dates from the 12th century. Restoration work was undertaken by the Rector, Rev. Joseph Mayor, in 1846. Another restoration was carried out in 1862–1863 by J. H. Hakewill, when the gallery was removed and the arches were restored, the chancel walls raised and a new timber roof provided. Other work included stuccoing the walls, restoring memorial tablets, reglazing the windows with cathedral glass, and inserting new stone dressings. A new pulpit and lectern in pine and the altar rail in oak were installed. Tablets of zinc were fixed to the walls displaying the Ten Commandments. A number of new open benches of Memel timber were placed in the nave, to match those installed at the time of the restoration in 1846. [3]

The tower was restored in 1886 and there was a further restoration in 1890.
