Description

Aisled nave, but due to rebuilding only the two W bays of the S nave arcade are 12thc., in local red sandstone; W tower; chancel of 1862-3. A 19thc. reproduction in the VCH shows a deep round-headed window at the E end of the nave, accompanied by what appear to be associated shafts. Romanesque sculpture is found in the two W bays of the S nave arcade.
