Summary
This church has a Saxon or Norman era round tower which has had a 15th century belfry added to it. The majority of the church fabric dates to the 14th century but it was subject to heavy rebuilding during the 19th century, as evidenced by the nave roof. As it stands in the Ministry of Defence Training Area the roofs of the church are clad in steel, which has been cut to resemble pantiles. The interior of the church features various panes of 19th century stained glass.
