History edit
The church is 15th century in origin, in a Perpendicular style.[1] The church was restored in 1848 and again, under the direction of the architect John Prichard, in 1878.[1] The tower was restored in 1905.[1] By 2016 the church was in a poor state of repair and the nave was inaccessible, due to safety concerns.[2] Restoration works have now been completed, supported by a grant of £121,00 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.[3]
Architecture and description edit
The church is built of Old Red Sandstone.[4] The style is Perpendicular.[4]
