Parish church. 1815 on early medieval site, re-using some old

windows. Taller 5-bay chancel with clerestory. 3-bay south chancel
aisle with sloped and stpped buttress bay divisions; narrow,
chamfered segment-headed windows. Old vestry to east of aisle

sloping cill, are Moore's work though the window head looks old.

Vestry has massive quoins and 2 slit windows in east wall. Tall
neo-Decorated east window; east end buttresses crowned by octagonal
tourelles. Tall 3-light neo-Tudor window on north side of chancel,
directly below clerestory. To west memorial chapel with windows

Interior: Georgian part plastered. 6-panel doors from tower to
nave and from stick-baluster stair to west gallery, with stepped
seating and panelled front, on 2 wood columns. Triple archway (the
side arches quite small) to stone chancel with false hammerbeam
roof. Aumbry, piscina and sedilia in chancel. Fragments of Saxon
sculpture in rebuilt west vestry wall. Triple arches to north

and carved and painted reredos.
