Overview
Historic England records fabric of the twelfth, late thirteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with work of about 1887. The listing describes ashlar dressings, render and lead roofs: nave, chancel, vestry, south porch and a western bell turret. The west wall has a late thirteenth-century two-light Y-traceried window and an eighteenth-century bellcote. Two-and-a-half bays of a late twelfth-century south nave arcade, now blocked, remain visible externally, with octagonal piers, a keeled east respond and waterleaf foliage. A twelfth-century slightly tapering circular tub font survives. In the sanctuary floor is an engraved armorial brass to Sir John Mazine, horsemaster to the first Duke of Newcastle.
The Church Heritage Record describes a small chapel of about 1100 whose south aisle had been removed by 1748, restored in the 1880s, with the exterior rendered and the porch renewed about 1958. Wikipedia notes that a porch notice now states that interior visits cannot be allowed because the building has been deemed unsafe.
