Although a building existed here before the Norman Conquest, construction of the tower and enlargement of the church took place post-conquest. A major restoration occurred in 1885 and the organ was installed in 1888. A rare feature is the almost complete carriage drive around the church.
However, the most notable feature is the medieval stained glass of the East window considered by Nicolas Pevener to be “the finest decorated glass in the country…”.
A lovely poem to remember a brother and sister who died less than six months apart.
