---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
St Dinabo is a dedication unique in England. Modern restorations have destroyed all evidence of an earlier structure. In 1881 outer walls were entirely recased, the inner walls plastered and the west wall entirely rebuilt, as were all old windows. The old west gallery was removed and roofs repaired and re-tiled. At the same time the north vestry, north aisle and south porch were added. The west bell turret is also modern.
Thomas Tompkins was a child who was accidentally drowned in 1629.
The brass shows him standing in a pool.
