Description
This is a parish church with an unknown dedication, dating from the 14th to the 19th centuries. The walls are made of flint rubble and red brick, with limestone, clunch, and brick dressings. The roofs are clay peg tiled and gabled, with a lower ridge line over the chancel.
The chancel features a 16th-century east wall window with three lights, moulded brick mullions, and reticulated tracery beneath a two-centred head with a moulded label. The north wall shows traces of a former window, while the south wall has two windows; the eastern window is from the 14th century, consisting of two ogee cinquefoiled lights with moulded jambs under a square head and label moulding. The western window, from the 16th century, has two ogee lights with a square head and label, and there is a blocked doorway with a two-centred head, likely from the 14th century.
Inside, the nave roof features a cross quadrant crown post, moulded tie beam, and wall plates of the seven-cant type, probably from the early 15th century. The north side of the nave has a single rebuilt window, likely from the 14th century, and a blocked former north door with a four-centred rear arch, probably from the 15th century. The south wall has an old brick plinth and two windows; the eastern window is rebuilt, while the western window is from the 16th century with two four-centred lights under a square head.
The south porch has 15th-century dwarf walls, remnants of 15th-century timber work, and a peg-tiled gabled roof. The nave roof has a king post from the 18th century with diagonal struts. The north wall of the nave was likely rebuilt in the 18th century, although some top plates from earlier construction remain. There is no chancel arch; instead, brick piers support a beam that separates the nave and chancel. The nave was probably truncated in the 18th century.
