Background
History
The Church of England parish church is dedicated to Saint James the Great. The church was dedicated to Saint Katherine in the 13th century, Saint Dennis in the 18th century, and is believed to have once been dedicated to Saint Kenelm. During the 18th century it may have briefly been dedicated to St Dennis. The central tower had a belfry added in the 15th century. This was rebuilt in 1904 as part of a wider restoration by William Weir the architect for the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.
Architecture
The building is Norman, with the addition of some Decorated Gothic and Perpendicular Gothic windows and other details. The limestone building has a stone slate roof. It consists of a chancel and nave with a central tower.
