Description of Archaeology and History
The Church is medieval and has been used for Christian worship for about 800 years and continues to be used for that purpose to the present day.
In Victorian times the Church was extended to include the current Vestry with a room above and the North Aisle which was never consecrated because it was not considered to be architecturally in keeping with the original building.
Interior
