Description of Archaeology and History
Pevsner dates the arcades that join the chancel/sanctuary of the existing church to the present side chapels to around 1220.The Victoria County History dates the lower stages of the tower to the same date. This testifies to a long narrow building with two side parts where the present chapels are. Probably in the 14th century the present side aisles were added with round headed arcading on octagonal pillars between them and the nave. The side chapels as we now know them then took shape.
Sometime in the 15th century the arcading on the south side was replaced with new pointed arch arcading requiring four bays in place of the previous three. The south wall comprises a motley of stone pieces, containing octagonal stones which might have come from the original pillars. This wall is believed to have collapsed at some stage but there is no evidence as to when it was rebuilt. At some stage the side aisles were lengthened to embrace the tower. Thus, the church today is perpendicular in style, built progressively from the 13th to 15th centuries. The tower was built in the 13th century but the two top tiers were remodelled in 1656.
The chancel and sanctuary in its present form is mainly 19th century. The arcades have screens, part old and part 19th century.
The chancel contains a three-light window with late 20th-century glass by Patrick Reyntiens depicting the Adoration of the Lamb. Other windows contain 19th- and 20th-century stained glass by Hardman of Birmingham, Burlison and Grylls, George Farmiloe and Caroline Benyon.

Interior Description
Internally the church is a legacy of the 19th century. The south chapel is now used as a priest's vestry and choir vestry.
The nave itself, approximately 20m square, has a central passage aisle and is flanked by the two side aisles. Looking east, the chancel arch shows evidence of heavy restoration dating from 1850. It is now a plain, pointed arch.
At the western end of the nave, standing against the former tower arch, is the new pipe organ.
The font, once beside the north door, is now on the south side of the door into the tower, tucked into the angle, and located below the organ gallery. It is 15th century and the inscription around the base reads in Latin "Auxiliu meum a dno; qui fecit celu et trail”. The font has a finely carved lime wood cover.
