Description
The Church of St Denis is a former parish church, now redundant, dating primarily to the 13th century, with substantial rebuilding in 1874 by W Butterfield. It is constructed of fieldstone with clunch and limestone dressings. The building comprises a nave and chancel, along with a modern vestry and a south porch. The nave, dating back to around 1300, features a 19th-century gabled bellcote at the west end. The north wall incorporates three restored windows; two lancets, one with a cinquefoiled head and the other with a trefoiled head, and a third window of two trefoil lights with a foiled head. A north doorway has a two-centred arch of two chamfered orders. The south doorway, dating to the mid-14th century, is characterized by two continuous wave moulded orders. At the time of listing, creeper covered the exterior.
