History

The church dates from the 12th century and doesn't have a tower. [3] The 14th-century south porch has a parvise not connected to the body of the church. It also has two scratch dials. There is a double bell-cote [4] on top of the 13th-century west front. [5] [6]

The nave is Norman and has a clerestory built in the 14th century. A poorbox dating from 1637 is near the bell-shaped font. [6] [2]

A royal coat of arms to George III [2] dating from c1796 is situated above the chancel arch, which dates from the 13th century. It was probably added during the rebuilding of the chancel that year. [3] [6]

Sir William Wade, who has a plaque near the pulpit, is buried in the north transept. Wade was the founder of a three-chaplain college which the church housed in 1356. [6]
