Summary Description

A small Medieval church with a distinctive shingled bell tower set in the rolling fields and coppices of rural Herefordshire. The Medieval building consists of an early 12th-century nave and chancel and timber-framed south porch, the latter dated to the 14th. The church was restored in 1848 and 1857, in the latter phase the chancel was substantially remodelled and the north vestry was added. This is a small and compact building of considerable charm.
