Parish Church (Dedication Unknown)

This medieval parish church was substantially rebuilt and refurnished in the 17th century, then restored in 1869.

The church is constructed from local rubble sandstone with freestone dressings and a tile roof. It follows a simple rectangular plan comprising a nave and chancel under one roof, with a south porch and an embraced west belfry.

The exterior is predominantly in 19th-century Gothic style, but contains medieval elements including a south doorway with continuous chamfer and early strap hinges. The south wall carries two 2-light windows with Y-tracery, whilst the north wall has one similar window and several blocked openings, including a nave doorway. Among the blocked windows is a narrow opening that may date to the 12th century, and windows in the chancel and nave, where a nave window retains its square head and probably dates to the 16th century. A vertical joint in the fabric indicates the nave has been extended westwards. The east window contains 3 cusped lights with blind trefoils under a relieving arch. The west belfry is timber-framed and now slate-hung, featuring cusped bell openings and a splay-foot spirelet.

Inside, the nave has a roof of closely spaced rafters, probably medieval in date. The 2-bay chancel roof is 17th-century work, comprising 3 trusses with moulded tie beams on brackets and raking struts. The walls are plastered throughout. A plaster partition at the west end of the nave, fitted with a pointed panel door, separates off a narrow bell-ringing space. The floor is laid in tiles, including encaustic tiles, with raised wood floors beneath the pews.

The church retains an exceptional range of 17th and 18th-century furnishings. The chancel screen is of hybrid style, featuring a panel dado beneath Gothic pointed arches and trefoil spandrels, topped by a panelled entablature. The pulpit is square with round-arched panels, has a tester, and incorporates an attached reading pew. A lectern stands in front, formed by two mirrored stylised scrolls with eagle heads (these eagle motifs also appear on the tester) mounted on the front pew. The nave has a panelled dado forming an integral part of the 17th or 18th-century panelled benches, which include one box pew on the south-east side. The choir stalls have moulded ends and fielded-panel backs. Communion rails feature turned balusters, though their effect is compromised by a glazed-tile chancel dado, which sits uncomfortably with the earlier work. Commandment boards occupy the east wall, whilst the Lord's Prayer and Apostle's Creed are displayed on the west wall. The font comprises a round freestone bowl with marble basin on a black marble stem. Several simple 19th-century wall monuments are present, including a brass plaque to John Morley (died 1899), who undertook the church's restoration.

The church is medieval in origin, evidenced by the south doorway and a possibly blocked Norman window in the north wall. The chancel roof, screen and pulpit indicate substantial rebuilding and refurnishing during the 17th century. The church housed a bell turret by this period—one bell dates to the late 16th century and another was cast in 1709. The church was restored in 1869 under John Morley's direction. It became redundant in 1980 and has been cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust since 1984.
