Description

Former Anglican parish church of Norman origin, in rubble stone with some sandstone dressings. W tower, nave and chancel, all in a ruinous state. Battered tower with massive quoins to angles, massive raised band above plinth, and partially blocked W door with cut stone voussoirs to Tudor-arched head. A small squared opening with rough stone voussoirs, to the E. The N. side of the nave has almost entirely collapsed, but a blocked door to the NE corner is just traceable in the few remaining courses of stone. The S side has a pointed arched doorway without mouldings and with stone voussoirs. The short chancel has a blocked window to the N with rough stone voussoirs, the S wall has largely collapsed. The E wall has a 2-light C15 E window, with sandstone tracery to 2 cusped lights.

Little of the interior survives, the roof and much of the walling having long since collapsed. Nave and chancel formerly stuccoed - traces remain. Tower has high barrel-vaulted stone ceiling and stoop located on the wall S of the nave door, which has Gothic arch and good sandstone mouldings beneath rough stone voussoirs. Late C20 concrete platform with flat, corrugated tin roof supported by three aluminium poles to SW corner of nave. Chancel arch survives, with projecting cut stones to the sides of the arch springs and rough stone voussoirs. Recessed alcoves flank the E wall. To S of E window is a large stone corbel bearing a broken stone projection, with traces of another to the N.
