Background
History
The church was founded around the end of the 11th century, probably by Hugh de Mara, Lord of Lawton. Following the fire of 1798 the body of the church was rebuilt in brick in neoclassical style.
Architecture
Inside the church at the west end is a gallery dated 1717 which also survived the fire. At the base of a stairway leading to the gallery is the tomb of John Byber on which are carved his initials. Displayed under the gallery are some 13th-century flooring tiles which were discovered during the 1874 restoration. There is a ring of eight bells. Five of these which are dated 1713 are by Richard Sanders; the other three are by John Taylor and Company, one of which is dated 1882 and the other two are dated 1901. The parish registers start in 1559 and the churchwardens' accounts date from 1691.
