Description

The church consists of a chancel, nave, N aisle, W tower and S porch. The chancel and the N aisle are 14thc. The W tower and the walls of the nave are post-Conquest and appear to date from about 1080. The round-headed tower arch is chamfered, with chamfered imposts, but otherwise plain. On each face of the tower are double round-headed (arcuated lintels) openings with a central shaft between them (the shafts appear to be modern) which have a chamfered impost in place of a capital. The double windows are set within round-headed, chamfered openings. Romanesque sculpture is found on the S doorway and the font.

Comments/Opinions

It is not certain if there was an earlier church on the site. The doorway is elaborate work of c.1080 - a very valuable survival.
