Overview
Grid reference: NY 198 552
The C13th font suggests that the church pre-dates the licence to crenellate of 11th April 1304. Built as a fortified church with defensible tower with extremely thick walls above a vaulted ground floor. The original Nave, possibly earlier than the present tower, also has extremely thick walls. The church was extended and repaired in 1844 and further restored and embellished in 1894 by Sarah Losh. The semi-circular Vestry to the east side, the eagle on the ridge of the Nave and the two rams heads defining the original position of the altar suggest the influence of Sarah Losh. The earliest parts of the Nave and tower are of a mixture of red sandstone and cobble. The upper parts of the tower have been rebuilt as has the east gable of the original Nave. The roofs are of stone flag clearly dating from the C19th restorations with wide eaves and gable overhangs. The interior has been entirely re-ordered. The north wall of the early Nave has been entirely removed to give access to the C19th extensions. The Chancel is now to the north with a north / south axis to the Nave. The roof trusses are exposed with a boarded timber ceiling. The stone vaulted ground floor to the tower has a Tudor north window.
