Description

Roofless shell of T-plan gothic church by John Park, mason,

1817; enclosed by churchyard.

CHURCH: rubble-built with stugged and graded pink quoins;

polished red ashlar roll-mouldings, hoodmoulds, Y-tracery

and spiky pinnacles. 3 porches (main porch in re-entrant

angle; crow-stepped porches on long S wall), none, perhaps,

original. Jamb also crow-stepped and with tall (formerly

louvred) birdcage belfry.

CHURCHYARD: enclosed by ashlar-coped rubble-built walls;

gate to N with square gatepiers. 18th and 19th century

stone monuments and 3 rectangular burial enclosures;

orientation and rebuilt walling indicates 17th and 18th

century enclosures (to S of present church) to have been

built as aisles adjoining previous church; both these are rectangular-plan and rubble-built with ashlar dressings;

17th century enclosure with engaged circular shafts.

Statement of Interest

Notice at site states that church was burned out on night of
