Summary Description

The church was rebuilt in 1862 by J. Hicks who re-used some mediaeval details. The extent of the rebuilding appears to be very thorough but is difficult to determine precisely. It is likely that the present building represents a fairly accurate reproduction of the former church rather than an entirely unconnected new building. It is probable that the church follows the mediaeval ground plan except for the vestry north of the chancel.
