Parish Church The church has chancel, nave with N and S aisles and N porch, and W tower with a vestry attached on the S. The church was rebuilt by William Butterfield in 1870-72. Some parts of the older stucture were retained. The S aisle is 14thc., the first two stages of the tower are 12thc. and the uppermost stage 14thc. The round-headed tower arch has a chamfered impost, but is otherwise plain. A round-headed window, deeply splayed, survives on the S face of the lowest stage of the tower and now opens onto the vestry. On the exterior the second stage windows of S, E and W faces (the E window is covered by the chancel roof and the W is partially hidden behind the church clock) have a continuous thick roll with inverted cushion bases (partially restored). The church walling is coursed rubble. There is some herringbone masonry visible in the tower walling. Romanesque sculpture is found on a reset fragment in the N aisle. The fragment is not from the church.
