Building
Ground Plan Description and Dimensions
Ground plan:
Nave, chancel, and west tower of one stage only with a modern bell-cote on the west wall; south porch.
Description of Archaeology and History
The chancel is of uncertain date, but was probably built in the 12th century; a door on the north side gives immediate access to the house and, on the south side, is a small vestry (restored in 1908). The nave was, rebuilt in 1704 and has three windows to north and south, all of two round-headed lights within a square head. The south doorway is 13th century work, re-set, with an inscription above it.
The west tower is partly 15th century: it was repaired, and pinnacles and parapet added, in c.1770 - but those have now been removed and the tower is under a continuation of the nave roof. The single bell, uninscribed, is housed in the bell-cote on the west wall. The south porch was added in 1846. The chancel arch is of 1704, and the tower arch is uniform with it. The east window is basically mediaeval, but with the had. re- stored in 1845; the west window is entirely modern, but the blocked west doorway beneath it is 15th century.
