Parish church The 12thc. features of the church are the nave, the S nave arcade and the W part of the chancel. In the later 12thc. or the early 13thc. the S aisle was widened and lengthened, and an arched entrance made into the chancel. There is a 14thc. W tower of sandstone ashlar, and a timber porch. The church is otherwise mainly built of red sandstone rubble, but the 12thc. work inside is of a pale grey stone. Romanesque sculpture is found in the niche or blocked window in the exterior N nave wall, which until 1970 contained a carved relief of Christ, now inside the church, in the chancel and S chapel arches and in the S nave arcade. The font is probably 19thc., but shows Romanesque features.
