Description of Archaeology and History
It is Grade 11* listed, built of ironstone with limestone dressings and dates from c1300, from which period only the arcade with alternating octagonal and circular piers and double-chamfered arches remain.
At the turn of 20th century, the pews were removed and replaced with chairs, creating a flexible space. In 1992 a kitchen was installed, plus a toilet with disabled access at the base of the tower, which allowed for more community use of the building.
In 2000 the old, wall mounted gas heaters were removed, and a new warm air heating system installed, which proved more efficient and effective.
