Summary
This church consists of a west tower, nave, chancel, north aisle, transept and south porch. The building is of probable Saxon origin, and it is reported that in 1873, during restoration work, Saxon masonry was discovered. The current building is of flint with stone dressings and a slated roof. It dates largely from the 13th and 14th centuries, with later alterations.
Inside are carved bench ends of 1544, and a bell of 1617.
