History
Most of the church was rebuilt in the 14th century, replacing an earlier Norman church.[2] The south porch was added in the 15th century, and restored in 1975.[1] By the 1960s the church had fallen into disrepair, and it was divided at the chancel arch, the chancel continuing in use for worship.[3]

Interior
Inside the church, the chancel arch is blocked with glass in the upper part, and glazed doors in the lower part. On the south side of the nave is a tomb dating from about 1300 containing the effigy of a female.[3] On the north wall is a series of 14th-century wall paintings depicting scenes relating to the Incarnation.[2][3] In front of the paintings is a pre-Reformation pulpit in the shape of an hourglass.[4] In the chancel are a piscina and a sedilia, both dating from the 14th century, and the elaborate tomb of Margaret Boteler who died in 1410.[3] In the chancel windows are fragments of medieval stained glass.[4] The font is octagonal, and dates from the 15th century.[1]
