Background
History
The oldest parts of the church are Anglo-Saxon. It is recorded in the Domesday Book. The original church had a nave and a chancel, but in 1170 the chancel was removed, the nave was extended towards the east, and a very small chancel was added at the east end. The chancel was removed in the 17th century, the chancel arch was filled in with a wall and a window was inserted.
Architecture
The church is built of flint rubble with stone dressings. The walls are rendered and colourwashed. The roof is tiled. The plaster has been stripped from the interior side of the walls, and the floor has been partly removed and replaced by flagstones. South of the chancel arch is a small round-headed niche. The font is 19th-century.
