Description
This is a church, with an unknown dedication, dating from the late 12th century. It features a 17th-century porch and a 19th-century vestry on the south side, and it was restored in 1872. The main body of the church is made of mortar-rendered carstone, while the vestry is constructed from flint with ashlar dressings. The roofs are plain tiled and step down over the chancel. A wooden bellcote is located at the west end, with the chancel to the east, the vestry to the north, and the porch to the south. The bellcote has two louvred openings on each side. The church has lancet windows, including two round-headed windows from the 12th century on the north and south walls of the chancel, and a blocked square-headed window from the 13th century in the south-west corner. The east window is a two-light window from around 1660, featuring a transom set in the splayed jambs of the original round-headed 12th-century opening, with decorative four-leaved flowers in every third course under a label moulding. The west windows, dating from the 19th century, are neo-Norman with jamb shafts, scalloped capitals, and chevron moulding on the arches. The south porch is gabled and made of timber and brick, half-open with diamond mullions above plinth walls and stepped, zig-zag bargeboards. The door is simple and studded, surrounded by re-cut 19th-century door mullions. Inside, the church has simple whitewashed walls and queen post roofs. The chancel arch is from the 12th century, featuring a semi-circular head and one plain order, with a chamfered abacus at the springing of the side walls of the nave. There is a late 16th-century wrought-iron hourglass bracket fixed on the wall near the pulpit.
