The extensive survival of the Norman shell of this church for nearly 900 years, is truly remarkable, although the interior was last reordered in 1878 by C.J.Ferguson, a pupil of George Gilbert Scott. It is not surprising that Ferguson did a reasonably careful job, which included opening up blocked Norman and Early English windows, as he was the premier church architect in the region at the time. This has helped to return something of the churchs feeling of antiquity. Two Norman arches survive, in addition to four Norman windows. The oddities that have also endured from the past include an early stone staircase ambiguously set in the wall below an early window and four intriguing sundials.
