C16 with addition of 1832.

Architectural Features

It is possible that the nave and chancel are pre-C15 but there is no evidence of pre- Perpendicular work.

The north aisle is the earlier dating from the Circa late C15 and the south porch and tower may be contemporary.

Above the belfry opening on this side a gargoyle projects on a very long neck.

Beside the south aisle window is a wall memorial of 1802 to Peter Holmes and his 2 wives.

The Church had the plaster stripped off its internal walls in 1912 which unfortunately caused the destruction of some painted scripture and the removal of several C17 wall memorials, one of which, to Richard Attwell, is lying in the churchyard.

The font cover, pulpit, reredos. reading desk and choir stalls are of quite a good quality and were made by Rev. Charles Walker who died 1909.

The stained glass is C20.

Probably C15 octagonal font of Roborourgh stone with raised shields on panels of bowl.
