This report covers principally the chancel, north aisle and tower. The tower is late 11th century originally with rubble quoins covered up to the west by added post medieval buttresses. Remains of narrow bell openings below the present 14th century bell stage. This makes the tower one of the very few square west towers of this period with the rule in the region being to have round towers. Nave south wall largely of this date with a blocked double -splayed window. The north aisle has undergone several transformations having started with the north wall being originally 1.1 metres lower than at present. William Butterworth covered the whole north side with a catslde roof in 1861/2 rendering clerestory and 18th-century aisle roof redundant. The chancel has an impressive 5-light 'Y' traceried esat window. For further information see (S3)
