Who we are
The church was built in 1667, the year after the old church had been burnt in the Civil War. It comprises a single cell Nave, with Chancel, to which has been added in 1893 an apse at the west end, constructed of brick. 1884 saw the chancel being "gothicised", but fortunately this restoration work did not remove the gallery at the west end of the church. Instead, the old outside staircase was removed and the present simicircular intetrnal staircase added.
There is a small timber-framed belfry at the west end of the nave.
The west gallery may date from the building of the church, or possibly later in the seventeenth century, and there is a Jacobean pulpit with reader's desk (two-decker). Box pews, Rector's pew and Squire's pew are probably 18th century.
Monument to Ralph Brown, who died in 1707, has a good tablet with big scrolls and open segmental pediment.
Interesting sundial on south wall, depicting an eye constructed of glass tesserae.
