Summary
A mainly 15th century church, although much of the original work was lost during extensive rebuilding in the late 19th century.The church consists of a 15th century west tower, nave, chancel and south porch. Construction is of flint with limestone dressings. The roof was originally thatched but is now pantiled. The chancel, which sits at an angle to the nave, was entirely rebuilt in the late 19th century (although using some old material), as was the south porch. Inside there is a carved octagonal font, and an organ that came from Scottow hall.
