Summary

Description

The church stands remote, although the village may have once stood here. Most of the church dates from the 15th century although some walls may be earlier. It consists of a west tower, chancel and nave with no aisles. Like many churches, the chancel is inclined to the South by a few degrees. Sometimes known as “a weeping chancel” a reminder of the position of Christ’s head as he was dying on the cross. The chancel roof is a cambered tie beam with a crown post. On the north wall of the sanctuary there are memorials to the Fuller family. There is a 13th century North Chapel which was probably apsidal. It is now a vestry. The west tower is 15th century with a narrow tower arch. The East end of the Chapel is rebuilt in brick, probably 17th century although the chimney could be later. The font is a 12th century square marble bowl on a 19th-century pedestal. Some of the windows have 15th century fragments. There are three piscinae throughout the church, there is also a stoup by the South door. Some of the South Windows still have their 15th century label stops with carved heads. There is also a priests door.

Restoration was carried out in the late 19th century, there were further repairs in 1959 and 1978.
