Description of Archaeology and History
Nave and chancel 14th century, transept or chapel probably 16th century (Pevsner suggests 17th century).
Exterior Description
The church is built of flint and stone (the former predominating, with stone for door and window surrounds and quoins) and roofed with tiles. At the west is a shingled bell-turret with pyramidal roof. The south doorway (no porch) is round— headed and perhaps Norman: at any rate the fabric of the building may well be earlier than the 14th century date suggested by the chancel north and south windows - each of two trefoil-headed lights with flattened heads across the top. The north and south windows of the chancel appear to be 17th century and are simple round rectangles with mullions.
Interior
Interior Description
The nave roof appears to be entirely 19th century, but the chancel retains its earlier moulded tie-beams and the curved rafters which evidently supported a plaster ceiling. The floors are stone-flagged, some of the 1709 black and white marble squares surviving in the sanctuary.
