Parish church
An originally 12thc. church consisting of chancel, narrow nave, W tower with clasping buttresses and nave S aisle. The S aisle was added in the late 12thc., the arcades formed by cutting through the S wall leaving rectangular piers. The S wall of the aisle has since been rebuilt. Surviving 12thc. features are the N doorway, three bays of the nave S arcade, and the lower part of the W wall of the tower which incorporates two round-headed windows, one of which is decorated.
Parish church
A basic church with nave and chancel, and a W
tower offset to the S. The vaulted chancel is
essentially Romanesque but with some restoration. The Romanesque S doorway has
been very heavily restored and the simple N doorway has been reset. The body is
built of sandstone rubble, but the sculptures and ashlar are in both red and
grey sandstone. The church lies at the bottom of the hill on which the castle
of the de Montforts once stood.
