This redundant church has a simple, 17thc. W tower, and a Georgian chancel and N chapel. The nave is 12thc. with later windows. 12thc. sculpture is found on the N and S doorways and the font
In the 12thc. the church was supported by the precentor of Lichfield Cathedral, by 1290 becoming a chapel of Bishop's Itchington, and continuing as such until 1879. The church was redesigned in 1852, and was declared redundant in 1988.
The two plain doorways with their heavy mouldings and simple capitals probably beloing to the first half of the 12thc. The pointed arch of the S doorway may result from rebuilding - there is a good deal of disturbed masonry in the surrounding walls.
The font clearly belongs to the 13thc. (dogtooth, multiple moulded plinth) but is included as a late example of a common form of 12thc. arcaded decoration. (Ed.)
