II*

C13 parish church with a C14 timber-framed tower, a unique
survival in the county. Both restored in the late C19 when the
church was ruinous. Built of pebble-rubble and some stone with
limestone and clunch dressings. Plain tiled roof, shingle
cladding to tower. Nave and chancel without internal divisions,
east and south walls rebuilt in C15. One C13 lancet window in
north wall. South and West doorways with stop-moulded jambs and
four-centred arches. Nave and chancel roof C15, of four bays
with queen posts, has one original carved tie beam, and original
deeply moulded cornice, and embattled wall plate and side
purlins. Timber framed west tower with timber-framed bell
stage, is largely undisturbed except for the first stage where
new sills and external buttresses were introduced in C19 and the
gable roof replaced by pyramid roof. The original weather-
boarding was also replaced with shingles. South porch C19;
early C16 poppy-head pews and chancel screen, restored. C13
font with octagonal bowl, late C13 piscina.
