April 2004. Building Survey.
Briefly examined by E. Rose (NLA):
Basically Early English with very fine but much restored chancel. Nothing visible predates 13th century. Tower and porch probably 14th century, altered in 15th. Tower part collapsed in 18th century; reduced and repaired in knapped flint. 19th-century restorations. 13th-century stained glass; 14th-century tower door.
See report (S2) for further details.

The 18th-century churchyard wall to the south and west of the church was listed Grade II in 1981.
This is now recorded separately as NHER 63590.

August-November 2017. Watching Brief.
Monitoring undertaken during removal of pews and wooden floor from north and south aisles.
In both aisles a void was exposed beneath the wooden floor, which was then infilled with rubble and soil and a new tile floor laid at the same level as the nave floor.
Removal of a wooden wall plate along the south aisle revealed scars in the plaster likely to indicate the position of an earlier set of pews. It was also noted that the width of this aisle was not consistent, narrowing slightly to the west.
No significant observations were made during the work in the north aisle.
No finds were recovered.
The pews that were removed probably dated to 1875, when the aisle and nave pews are known to have been renewed.
See report (S3) for further details.
