History and architecture edit
The church is thirteenth century in origin with significant additions in the sixteenth century, a major restoration in 1890 and further minor restoration in the twentieth century.[3] The tower is of the early fourteenth century and the aisle of slightly later date.[1] Around the chancel are three chantry chapels, the church's "most memorable" features.[1] The bell tower holds six bells, dating from the seventeenth century.[4]
Services are held at the church on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.[4]
