Foundation details of the 15th century church tower were recorded in November 1999, during archaeological monitoring of groundwrosk for the installation of new drainage. The chamfered plinths of the tower and buttress were identical and contemporary, suggesting the buttresses were an original part of the tower design. {6}{7}
