Description

The church dates to circa 1100, and was built on the site of an earlier Saxon church. It has a west tower of two stages, a nave and chancel. It was restored in the 15th century, and the transepts, vestry and south porch were added in 1795.

At the west end of the nave are three canopied niches with a wooden back. Each canopy has a crocketed pinnacle at either side and a central spire with finial.
