Geocache Description:

Another church to add to the excellent Church Micro series

You are looking for a little one


A church has stood on this site since at least from 1086, and possibly a Saxon church before that. The south porch is Norman exhibiting the dog tooth pattern from this period. The piscina and the font font are 13th century and has remains of iron fastenings which were apparently used to lock it against the use of holy water for witchcraft. The chancel dates from around 1300. The tower was completed in 1510. The pulpit and lectern date from around 1520. In 1780 the thatched roof was replaced by slates and tiles.

There are some rather large and oppulant effigies in the church as well as many brasses of the Drury family.

The church is usually open and worth a visit
