Some refurnishing in the later middle ages, and the chancel was reroofed probably in the 17th century. Substantial restoration in the 19th century, including reroofing the nave and aisles.

Flint and ragstone, mostly random rubble with some coursed rubble in the tower. Stone dressings, tiled, roof.
