Overview
Grid reference: NY 684 262
The church is designated at Grade II as a good example of a late C18 church retaining elements of its original medieval fabric. The 1784 restoration has produced a structure that is both simple yet architecturally imposing in stature. The high canted ceiling is of stucco panelling. The windows, also dating from 1784, contribute to the lightness of the interior with their lozenge-shaped panes, many brightly coloured. The pitch pine pews have simple fleur-de-lis ends. There is a wood-panelled gallery at the west end with tiered pews. In the re-ordering of 2009, the chancel has been opened up to create a light and useful area.
