Summary
This 13th to 15th century church was much altered in the 19th century, but retains a good painted dado screen dating to 1532. There are several large lancet windows dating to the 13th century in the chancel, and in the south wall of the nave are a number of Perpendicular style windows in blank arcading. Apparently a medieval hermitage was situated next to the church.
