Summary
The earliest surviving part of the building is a 12th century blocked doorway in the nave, which has largely 19th century windows. The chancel was rebuilt in 1857, and the whole church has been repeatedly modified so that an overall date is hard to give. The west tower has a lower 15th century stage and emerges at the roof-line as a polygonal bell-turret. Inside there is a 14th century octagonal font with multiple styles of tracery patterns, and a brass to Dame Juliana Anyell from around 1500, who was in the Order of the Vowesses.
