Protected Status/Designation

Full Description

Late Norman (the lower stage of the tower) to Perpendicular, well restored in 1892. {1}{2}{3}{4} In normal use. {5} Stained glass in this church, which remains in situ, dates to the 14th century and to c.1340-1408 AD. {6} Within the church there is a 15th century rood screen much restored. The church was fully restored in 1891-92 during which the collapse of a pillar caused part of the nave roof and the roof of the south aisle to fall in. During the restoration a medieval tomb was discovered. There are two war memorial plaques, one for the First World War, erected in 1920, and the other for the Second World War. There is a memorial stained glass window that is probably also about 1920 in date. Within the church there is a Book of Remembrance recording details of those who served in the First World War. There are in addition three war graves in the churchyard. {7}
