Full Description
Basically a Late Saxon building.
Above the tower arch is a splayed window looking into the church, which may predate the present roof height.
There is a large amount of ironbound conglomerate in the building, including an arch over a side window, and quoins. There are also large blocks in the east wall of the north aisle, which suggests that the Saxon building was unusually large, with transepts.
The rest of the church is mainly 14th century, in the Decorated style.
The nave has 15th century windows and arcades in the Perpendicular style.
13th century tombslab, 14th century font, and a 15th century painted screen and benches.
See (S1) and (S2).
E.Rose 17 January 1983.
