Architectural Features

The C15 church was virtually rebuilt in C19.

Hoodmoulds have carved head stops, some on the south side dating from C15.

The C19 gritstone facing conceals parts of the medieval red sandstone walls.

Interior: the arrangement is unusual in that only a fraction,of the chancel is taken by the sanctuary, there is no choir, and the seating, which spills over from the nave,faces west towards the 3-decker pulpit which is against the north arcade.

Early stained glass of late C15

early C16, now in the aisles, originally came from the east window.
