Description of Archaeology and History
The oldest part of the church, the nave, is Norman. Victorian restoration in 1885-86 saw the nave reconstructed and the chancel, vestry and porch added.
At the west end of the nave, near the font, is the 'Hurricane Tomb' which commemorates seven members of the Perkins family who lost their lives in the nearby hamlet of Asterton during a hurricane in 1779.
