Description

Holy Cross has an aisled nave with Perpendicular clerestoreys, the S aisle wider than the N. The N arcade is of c.1180-90 and the S of c.1300. Although the arcades are of equal length, the N is of three bays and the S of four, narrower and curtailed at the W. There is a broad, aisleless chancel of the late 13thc. with a curious timber-framed N vestry, dating from 1868-69. The W tower dates from the late 14thc. and had a spire up to the 19thc. Construction is of brown cobbles. The only 12thc. feature is the N nave arcade.

History

The manor was held by Aubrey de Vere at Domesday. A church is recorded but the present building includes nothing of it.
