Summary Description

The font and a number of early fragments suggest that there was a church here in Norman times, but the chancel was rebuilt, and a north chapel added in the mid 13th century. Before the end of the century north and south aisles were added but, early in the 15th century, the south arcade was destroyed, and the south aisle thrown into the nave; at the same time the north arcade was rebuilt. The west tower also dates from the 15th century and the south porch from the 19th century (though this incorporates much earlier material).
