Summary Description

The church was built on the site of a Norman church: as seen today, its construction was spread over the 13th and 14th Centuries, and more significantly through the 15th Century. It stands on a prominent knoll within an arboretum of yews and marks its place with its fine tower which surveys the 17C alm-houses, the High Street and the open countryside beyond.

The church is open for worship.
