II*

Small Parish Church, exterior largely a Victorian restoration of perpendicular and earlier features, but internally probably partially early C13. Nave with west bellcote, South aisle and chancel. Bell turret consists of paired gables with segmental arched hall openings - lancet in west wall, and date stone above of 1652. Double chamfered arches. South doorway without piers, just a chamfered architrave and slight reponds, in Victorian gabled porch. South aisle has coped gable and square-headed traceried openings with hoodmoulds and corbel heads. Chancel has lancet windows, with three lancets forming the east window. Blocked tiny north doorway, and a single window in the tall and buttressed North wall - inside nave arcade of two bays, double chamfered round arches in round piers and responds. Outer shafts are very slender. The nave is high for its length and has a good crown post roof. Chancel arch, C14 double chamfered arch on five-sided piers. Victorian chancel roof with chamfered curved struts on stone corbels.

Various high Victorian fittings: pulput and lectern particularly notable. Font is perhaps C13 - an octagonal basin with traces of paint, on central and outer round shafts.
