Description

The Parish Church is a parish church that dates back to the 13th century, with enlargements made in the 15th century and alterations in the 17th century. It was rebuilt in 1859 by C.E. Giles, during which a north aisle was added. The church is constructed of coursed and squared rubble with a slate roof and coped verges, showcasing the Perpendicular style. It features a two-bay nave, a one-bay chancel, a three-bay north aisle, a south porch, and a stone bellcote on the east end of the nave roof.

Notable architectural elements include a lancet window in the south wall of the nave from around 1200, which has a cinquefoil rere arch, and a further three-light south window in the nave dated 1638. The interior has encaustic tile floors and includes a Norman tub font with an elaborate Jacobean cover. The reredos, pulpit, choir stalls, and pews are from the restoration period, and the church features 19th-century stained glass, except for a fine window from 1918 located in the nave.
