Description
The Church of the Holy Cross is a parish church primarily dating from around 1300, with 14th-century transepts. It underwent restorations in 1879 and 1884 by Colson, during which the walls were roughcast and dormers were added. The church features roughcast walls with various buttresses and simple Gothic windows from the restoration period. It has a tile roof, gabled dormers on the nave, and a west end bell turret with boarded walls and a broach spire. The structure includes an aisleless nave and chancel, along with north and south transepts, a Victorian vestry, and a south porch positioned at the angle with the transept.
Inside, the church is plain and contains mainly Victorian fittings. Notable features include a pulpit with a tester from 1630, a Norman font supported by pillars, and a fragment of 14th-century wall painting depicting a ship. The interior also showcases a continuous line of roof timbers crossing the transepts on coupled wall plates, as well as the massive timber frame of the bell turret at the west end of the nave. There is one wall monument dated 1757.
