All that now remains of the original Norman church are the font,
some of the tie beams and the majority of the north wall with its
two lancet windows - one in the chancel and one in the nave.
Outside on the north wall there is a flat buttress built by the
Normans to give additional support.
The 19th century was a time of church restoration throughout the
land and St. Margaret's did not escape. In 1881 major alterations
to the Church began. The west wall, tower and musicians gallery
were replaced by the tower and spire and vestry beneath at the west
end of the south aisle. The new east window and porch were added
and the new west wall at the end of the nave, together with its
door with a memorial window over, was installed. It was at this
time that some confusion led to effigies of St. Margaret and King
Malcolm of Scotland being placed outside over the west door instead
of St. Margaret of Antioch.
