Architectural Features

chancel probably C14, largely rebuilt 1876-77

C13 north aisle

late C14/early C15 west tower

The medieval masonry is large, roughly- dressed blocks of local sandstone, possibly quarried immediately south-east of the church (q.v. Nos 1, 2 and 3 Rock Cottages)

C19 tiled roof with crested ridge tiles

A small C12 nave and chancel church of which some original masonry and features survive.

2-bay north aisle with lean-to roof added in the C13.

Chancel probably rebuilt late C14 but substantially restored in 1876-77.

Circa late C14 west tower

C14 2-light south chancel window with a hoodmould and label stops.

On the north side the nave retains one small round-headed window, C12 or perhaps earlier, set high up in the wall,

a C13 lancet.

The 2-bay Early English north aisle has chamfered lancet windows to the east and west ends and one in the north wall and a C13 2-centred chamfered north doorway with pyramid stops.

The 1870s south aisle has a south-west buttress and re- uses medieval features.

To the east of the porch there is a restored, square-headed 2-light C15 or early C16 window with a hoodmould and trefoil- headed lights.

The re-set south doorway incorporates a partly-blocked C12 doorway with detached shafts with cushion capitals and a tall, plain, rounded-headed arch.

This has been infilled above a circa late C14 moulded doorway with a hoodmould.

Circa late C15 early C16 plank door with massive strap hinges.

Low 3-stage late C14/early C15 Perpendicular west tower with a pyramidal spire and tall diagonal buttresses with set-offs.

2-light C16 square-headed west window with cinquefoil-headed lights and a hoodmould.

2-bay C13 Early English north arcade with 2-centred arches with narrow chamfers springing from a square section pier and responds.

Circa late C14/early C15 arch braced common rafter chancel roof with ashlaring and a richly-moulded tie beam.

Circa late C14 double-chamfered tower arch springing from octagonal responds with moulded capitals.

Fittings: Font, probably C19, with an octagonal sandstone bowl on an octagonal shaft and a flat C17 lid.

Circa 1870s timber drum pulpit with pierced traceried panels on a stone base, Sanctuary fittings largely early C20 except for a medieval piscina and aumbrey in the east wall.

C19 choir stalls with re-used C15 poppyhead finials.

Monuments and Stained Glass: An important set of 8 early C20 Morris and Company windows, 2 (the east and 2-light windows in the south aisle) to late C19 designs by Burne-Jones.

The designs are mostly single figures set against a decorative background and contrast with the earlier Clayton and Bell windows, the east window, dated 1865 and the west window of the south aisle, dated 1878.

The church retains hanging oil lamps, converted to electricity and is said to have a bell dated 1684 (Church Guide).
