II

Parish church, of Decorated style. 1855, enlarged 1885. Cruciform church with north vestry and south porch, the south transept being raised as a tower. West country limestone with Bath stone dressings; cill bands, plinth, stepped buttresses: traceried coupled lights (three at the east and four at the west). Steep slate roof. The tower has two stages, a staircase turret, and an octagonal spire. The interior has original furnishings. Of special interest is a series of medallions of Flemish stained glass, inserted into the glazing of the windows in the form of circles, ovals, rectangles with square or cambered leads. The medallions represent themes from Christian iconography, and one of clear and tinted glass, the treatment being of classical style.
