History
edit
The church consists of a chancel, nave, south porch, vestry, tower and north and south aisles. The tower used to have a spire but this was removed in 1824.[2] The chancel and arcades date from the 13th century. The chancel also has 13th century windows with spikes, quatrefoils and circles, as well as a 12th-century tomb slab, sedilia and Elizabethan tablet to Ambrose Belgrave (died 1571).[1] The south porch was built in 1826.[3][2]
The church was restored in 1857[4] and then again 3 years later by Ewan Christian. In 1861, W. Gillet restored the south aisle windows and George Gilbert Scott did some more work in 1877–78.[3][1]
