Background
History
The current exterior of the church dates back to the 13th century, though the interior is mostly Victorian. In 1843 the spire was struck by lightning which damaged most of the gallery and nave. It was rebuilt by J. L. Pearson in 1852/3. The font dates from the 14th century and has faces carved on the corners.
