Deconsecrated chapel
Deconsecrated chapel
The church comprises chancel, nave and S porch with a wooden bell turret over the W
end of the nave. The nave is 12thc., the chancel (originally 12thc.) was rebuilt in
the 13thc. The brick porch is modern. The nave has a 12thc. S doorway, plain apart
from a chamfered impost, and one of the original small, splayed 12thc. windows (now
blocked) survives in the N wall of the nave. Romanesque sculpture is found on the
exterior of the N doorway, and on the chancel arch. There are also some moulded
fragments at the W end of the nave. The nave and chancel walls are of coursed rubble
masonry with ashlar quoins, the W and S wall of the nave and the E wall of the
chancel are rendered. VCH records that the church was restored in 1888, the chancel
being shortened at this time.
