"The present church building dates back to 1150AD, with extensions and numerous periods of rebuilding and repairs, the last major scheme being in the 1860’s, where the whole building, from the clerestory upwards, was taken down and rebuilt. It was during the period that the medieval glass was removed. The only stained glass windows that we now have are late Victorian. The font dates back to 850AD."

Some say it may be a depiction of St. George and the dragon, or possibly that of St. Michael fighting Satan.
Many sources describe the font as Norman. Possibly the church website meant to say 'The font dates back 850 years'.
