Summary

An interesting church, dating mainly from the 14th century, with some 15th century windows. The building consists of a west tower, nave, chancel and south porch. Building materials are flint, brick and stone, with an unusual amount of conglomerate material. The exact dating of individual parts of the church is made difficult by rebuilding work in the 17th century, and by several restorations in the 19th and 20th centuries. Inside, there is a medieval font, several memorials, and nave benches that originally came from Beckham Workhouse chapel.
