The Old Church

The Old Church is a former parish church, dating from the medieval period, and converted to residential use in 1986-7. It was restored in the 19th century, specifically in 1877 and 1884. The building comprises a nave, chancel, and a south tower. It is constructed of flint rubble with stone dressings. The chancel has repairs using red brick from the 16th and 17th centuries. The roof is covered with 19th-century plaintiles.

The late 14th-century square tower is two stages high with three-stage diagonal buttresses to the south face, and a crenellated parapet incorporating flushwork. The base of the tower acts as a porch, featuring a heavily weathered moulded entrance arch with fleurons on the innermost section. The belfry openings have lost their tracery. The core of the nave largely dates to around 1200. A south doorway retains its original semi-circular arch with a keel-moulded profile, a hoodmould with dogtooth ornament, and single orders of colonnettes to the jambs. There are two lancet windows of a similar date. A 14th-century north nave doorway has an unmoulded 2-centred arch, with remains of a stoup to the west. Other nave windows have a Perpendicular style, and have been largely renewed in the 19th century. Two flush rooflights were added in 1986-7.

The chancel is probably of 15th-century origin. A north-facing window provides a single 2-light opening with a square head. To the south, there is a 2-light window with a depressed 2-centred arch, and a 19th-century window with a pair of trefoil-headed lights under a square head. The east window is a 3-light opening, renewed in the 19th century.

Internally, the chancel roof is arch-braced in four bays; the high collars support king-posts to a ridge piece, with east-west bracing below. The nave roof is from the late 19th century and is based on the chancel roof's design. A piscina with an ogee arch, probably dating from the 15th century, is located in the chancel. A rood stair is found in the south-east of the nave. All furnishings and monuments were removed before the conversion.
