Summary Description

The west tower, very plain, is probably thirteenth century, the body of the church late fourteenth century. There is record of the chancel being restored in 1695, at which time the walls were said to be newly built together with the roof. The east wall was re-erected in 1846. The south transeptal projection was built in 1816 to contain the family pew of General Blommart who was also responsible for Willett Tower, a notable ruined church folly set on the highest point in the parish.
