Architectural Features

Nave, chancel, south porch, and round battlemented west tower which is a rebuild of 1911 of the earlier tower, said to be Saxon, which fell in 1725.

The remainder of the church is basically Norman.

Norman north doorway to nave with simple, partly defaced, carving to the arch.

Early C14 south doorway, with multiple continuous mouldings, inside a porch rebuilt in 1733.

Extensively restored interior of 1876: the roof, pews, tiles and plaster are all of that date.

An octagonal C15 font with low base, panelled shaft, and quatrefoils with shields round the bowl.

C15 heraldic glass in the north west window of the nave.

The doorway and part of the stairs to the rood are in the north wall of the nave beside the panelled, but much restored, C17 pulpit.

In front of the nave benches, the remains of two C15 benches with poppyheads and the remains of a further 4 pairs in the chancel.

The stained glass in the east window is a memorial to Queen Victoria.

On the south nave wall, brasses commemorating John and Maria Browne and their family: 1591, 1593
