An extremely satisfying late medieval church set on a large open green
to the S of the town. It consists of an aisled nave, the N arcade early 14thc., the S slightly later; a chancel by W. Smith (1843); and a 14thc. W tower with an
octagonal stone spire. The 14thc. work is dated by a Papal indulgence of 1343,
but the church was considerably modified in the early 16thc. This work includes
the clerestorey, rebuilding of the aisles, and S
porch bearing the date 1528. The most celebrated
aspect of the Perpendicular remodelling is, of course, the double hammerbeam
roof with three tiers of angels. Construction is of mixed stone rubble but the
16thc. parts include flint and flushwork. The re-cut 12thc. font must,
therefore, come from an earlier building.
