Summary Description

The church was built 1843-1846, early work of George Gilbert Scott. It is large for the size of the community, although it was filled for 100 years but now the congregation is small. The coursed cut flintwork is rare and well-executed. It has a prominent tower at the west end. It is well-maintained but its size and Victorian building materials mean there will be always be a challenge to maintain it.

Visiting and Facilities

The church is open for worship.
