Old Church

The remains of a parish church, later used as a mortuary chapel and now redundant, date to the 13th and 14th centuries. The church was largely demolished in 1825, and restored in 1869 by C.C. Rolfe for Elizabeth Barter as a memorial to her husband, Charles. The building is constructed of limestone rubble with alternating angle quoins and a chamfered plinth; the north, south, and east sides are roughcast, while the rebuilt west end features regularly coursed and dressed stone. It has a stone slate roof with coped verges.

Only the chancel survives of the original church, which would have included a nave, north and south aisles, and a tower at the east end of the former. The south side has a 17th-century leaded transomed window to the left and a chamfered cross window to the right, both with dripstones. An infilled, square-headed, chamfered doorway sits below the right window. A similar cross window is present on the north wall. The east end features a 1869 lancet inserted into a larger 14th-century window opening, with part of the original hoodmould remaining.

The west end, rebuilt in 1825 and again in 1869, incorporates a reused 13th-century pointed doorway with roll and hollow mouldings, three orders of detached nook-shafts with bell capitals, and a 19th-century hoodmould. This doorway is set within a slightly gabled projection of 1869, topped with a 19th-century cross. A gabled bellcote from 1825 houses a single bell within a round-headed arch.

The interior features a trenched double-purlin roof in three bays, with collar and slightly cambered tie beam trusses. Fittings and furnishings are 19th century and later, including a wooden funeral bier. A prominent memorial on the north wall commemorates Sir John Walter (died 1772), featuring a round-arched, moulded inscription panel flanked by fluted Ionic pilasters. Several smaller 17th and 18th-century wall tablets and memorials are also present, along with a brass plate on the east wall. A 17th-century armorial device is fixed to the south wall, and several 18th-century grave slabs are laid in the floor.

According to a Buckler drawing, shortly after the 1825 demolition, the original south porch had been moved to the west end of the chancel, and lower portions of the aisles and tower were still visible. The 1869 restoration saw the porch removed, with its inner doorway incorporated into the present gabled projection. Extensive earthworks relating to a deserted medieval village are located in the fields to the south and west.
