Built by monks towards the end of the 12th century. In 1870 the
church was almost ruined by fire and the roof fell in. It was
restored in 1888.
The level of the churchyard has clearly been raised during the
centuries to permit successive tiers of burial. Many of the older
gravestones have disappeared.
The west wall has a 15th century window now filled with three
19th century round-headed lights in which are inserted some pretty
floral quarries of the 17th century. These include the mermaid from
the coat of arms of Nicholas mason esquire, as well as details from
other coats of arms and probably from other windows. Above this is
the bell-cote, containing one bell.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I
would just ask that you could let
Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church
