This church was originally built in the 12th and 13th centuries with the porch added in the 15th. The bell tower had a wooden frame and the roof is not the original one.
The walls are flint and ironstone rubble, partly rendered, with freestone dressings.
The butresses are dressed stone, brick and tile.
The glass here appears to be very old and if you can find the church open (to date I never have), there is said to be a cvarved effigy of a knight on a window sill.
This is a grade 2 listed building.
Date the Church was built, dedicated or cornerstone laid: 01/01/1200
