Description of Archaeology and History

Interior Description
The most striking feature is undoubtedly the single hammer-beam roof in the nave. But for the corbels to support this roof, and a string-course beneath the window sills, the nave walls are plain. Plain chancel arch with floriated corbels and small shafts. Chancel roof is single-framed.
