Surviving ruined walls of west tower and doorway late C14, south nave wall

Architectural Features

blocked doorway, south aisle wall and part of jamb to south doorway and buttresses and wall of south transept c.1300

The church is not mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086, but the Romanesque stone chevrons built into the south nave wall suggest the existence of a building here in the 12th century.

The nave was lengthened and the tower and spire built in the late 14th century.

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: this church survives in a ruinous state, but the fragments of Norman fabric, and the more substantial fabric of c.1300

of the C14, with the surviving west doorway, are important.
