The font and nave piscina were perhaps re-used from an earlier building. Although the church is basically of circa 1300, the belfry and porch might be later additions from the later 14th century. In the late 15th century some windows were re-formed and the rood screen and stair turret added. During the 1893 restoration the nave was mostly rebuilt. In 1963 the chancel was ruined. (2)
