Full Description

A parish church which was built in 1802 and restored in 1879. It was constructed of squared greenstone rubble and yellow and red brick and has slate roofs. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {1}{2} White states that the church was 'rebuilt in 1802', suggesting the current early 19th century church was built on the site of an earlier, likely medieval church. A listed gravestone in the churchyard dating to 1724 would seem to confirm the earlier church structure and churchyard here (see MLI93519). {3}
