II*
Church, probable early C12, C13 and restored in C19. Built of flint and pebble rubble with lacing courses of roman tile and dressings of limestone and clunch. North and Gabled peg tile roof. The chancel is C13 with two repaired lancet windows in the North and South walls and a C19 East window of three lancet lights. The nave is of supposed C12 origin with four blank round arched recesses in the East part, the remains of a probable crossing tower.
The South doorway is early C12 of two orders and with scalloped capitals. The North doorway, now blocked, is C13 with double chamfered jambs, two centred arches and a moulded label. The North wall has a C19 window and a brick C16 window of two four-centred lights under square head with sunk spandrels. The South wall has three windows - a C14 window of two cinque foiled lights with a quatre foil in a two-centred head, a C16 two light window and a blocked C12 light high in the wall.
The seven-cant roofs over nave and chancel are C19. At the West end is a red brick early C19 bell tower mounted on the original West wall and with a contemporary brick supporting wall to the East. This has grey brick drapering and a pyramidical peg tile roof.
On North, South and West faces are two light bell chamber openings with label moulding heads. The South porch is C19 but has C15 cambered and moulded tie beam with moulded braces.
Graded for architectural, historic, topographical and townscape value. (RCHM 1).
