editHistory
editInternal evidence dates the church to originally be from the 12th century, as only a nave. Aisles were later added in the 13th and 14th centuries.
In the 1600s, the original tower collapsed and was replaced by a small wooden belfry for many years.
A nearby building that used to serve as a vestry, chapel and school was demolished in 1855 and replaced by the current vestry.
The current replacement tower was built in 1877.[2]
Architecture
editThe nave is 64 feet long by 17 feet wide. The chancel adds 16 feet in length with a width of 26 feet. The two aisles add around 10 ft each. The modern tower is around 12 feet square.[3]
