Description
The Parish Church of St Margaret is a Grade II* listed building with medieval origins, though it was largely rebuilt in the 19th century. The tower dates from around 1852, while the nave and aisles were completed in 1860, and the chancel in 1866. The church is constructed of flint with stone dressings. The nave has a thatched roof, the aisle roofs are covered with lead, and the chancel roof is tiled.
The structure features a west tower, a north aisle, a north vestry, a south porch, a nave, a north chancel chapel, and the chancel itself. The square tower has a two-light west window, lancet sound holes, and single-light bell openings, topped with a battlemented parapet. The four-bay north aisle includes paired lancets between the buttresses, and the central lancets may date back to the 13th century. There is a door and a two-light window at the east end, and a 20th-century brick and flint vestry. An apsidal projection is located at the angle of the north aisle and the north chancel chapel.
The south porch, dating from the 15th century, features a doorway with attached octagonal shafts and has two-light windows to the east and west. The nave contains three lancet windows and one 19th-century two-light window. The north chancel chapel has one bay with a one-light east window and a two-light north window. The chancel consists of two bays, featuring a priest's door, two two-light south windows, a re-set lancet to the north, and a 19th-century three-light east window, all with parapet verges.
Inside, the church is mainly 19th-century, with a three-bay arcade and remnants of a 15th-century rood screen stair adjacent to the east respond of the north arcade. The roof is supported by arch-braced trusses, and there is a plain octagonal font bowl on two halved Norman colonnettes with a central support. Additionally, there are two panels of 17th-century glass in the southeast nave window.
