Description

The church was built between 1632 and 1634, founded by John Harrison. It underwent alterations and restorations in 1830-1838, 1866-1868 and 1890. It has a west tower, nave with south aisle, south porch and chancel with embattled parapets throughout. The south arcade has octagonal piers with round headed arches, and a timber roof with tie beams and angel corbels. The pulpit is carved with two winged mythical beasts on the wall either side, and a tester above, which is a wooden structure used to project the sound of the speaker.
