This highly restored church comprises a W tower (Perp.), nave with aisles to N and S (13thc.), and square-ended chancel with chapel on N side (15thc.). The restoration was carried out in 1870.
The polygonal form of this font is strongly in favour of a date in the early 13thc., but the decoration at the bottom of the bowl is suggestive of hyphenated chevron. It is clearly related, formally, to the Sussex marble fonts, which abounded in late 12thc. Sussex. Drummond-Roberts nevertheless dated it to the 15thc.
