St Denis (now)
Parish church
The original 12thc. church consisted of an aisleless nave and chancel. A N arcade was
added in the early 14thc. and there is a 15thc. W tower. The church was restored in
1834, and in 1869, when the chancel was rebuilt. The nave and N aisle were repaired in
1871. There are reset, plain, round-headed windows on E and W walls of the N aisle,
12thc. according to VCH, although the E window is pointed on the exterior. 12thc.
sculpture survives on the S doorway.
