Summary

[edit]
Description

The church dates from the mid-11th century onwards, and was restored in the 19th century. It stands alone in a field, the original village dwindled and moved, probably due to the plague. It is thought the church may have been built on the site of an earlier pagan building which was located above an important spring in a natural basin. There is a two stage western Anglo-Saxon tower, the original west door has been converted and blocked into a small arched window. The tower has double-arched bell openings in its upper storey. These were much restored, along with the rest of the church in 1868 by Fowler. The tower also has buttresses which were added at a later date. The church is rendered with cement. From the tower, there is a round headed arch into the nave, which has a 13th century north arcade of two bays, with octagonal piers and simple crockett leaf capitals. The chancel dates from the 13th century also, and is longer than the nave. On the north side of the chancel is an 11th century aumbry with a triangular head, and on the south a 13th century piscina. The 18th century south porch has an 11th century round headed doorway. There is a 12th century drum font, the foot of which is 15th century.

There is also the remains of a mediaeval cross in the churchyard.
