"The church, dedicated to ALL SAINTS by 1518, consists of chancel, nave with south aisle and porch and north vestry, and west tower, mostly built of field stones with ashlar dressings. The unbuttressed tower, which has slim lancets in its second stage, was begun in the later 12th or the 13th century, and the south aisle was added in the 14th.
The battlemented top stage of the tower was completed in the 14th century, but its window tracery has almost entirely vanished. In the 15th century the tower arch was rebuilt, a new west window was inserted."
