The Corpus of ROMANESQUE SCULPTURE in Britain & Ireland
St Mungo (now)
Church
The church was restored in 1863, when the Romanesque chancel arch was replaced by the existing one. The N nave doorway (now a window) was also rediscovered at this time. The N chapel, originally built in the 15thc, was rebuilt in 1928. The S porch is of 15th/16thc date. The church appears to have been originally a rectangular nave with a square-ended chancel. There is a W tower, but it is not certain whether this was part of the original plan. The tower appears to have been rebuilt in the 16thc above the first-floor level, but repairs to the tower also took place in 1657 and to the bell-house in 1765.
Parish church
The earliest sections of the church are 12thc. This church appears originally to have consisted of a rectangular nave and rectangular chancel. Carved work from the 12thc. survives on the baptismal font, S doorway, a grave cover and a small chancel window. Various additions were made in the 13thc. and the W tower constructed in the 14thc. Fragments of an early cross were found in excavations carried out in 1880. The N aisle was built in 1882.
