                    Parish church
                    Built of red sandstone ashlar and rubble, plastered internally, with stone slated roof; remote from the village. Around 1400 a crossing tower was inserted into the E bay of the late 12thc. aisled nave, so its original four bays were reduced to three. The chancel is also late 12thc. The S transept is 14thc., the N transept 19thc. There is a plain round-headed blocked doorway in the N chancel wall and a plain font. Romanesque sculpture is found in the S nave arcade, and in part of the N.

                    Parish church
                    Rebuilt on the site of the old church in 1881-2. Some 14thc. stone was reused in the Victorian building, but the only 12thc. work is the font.

                    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.
