Background
History
It is thought there was a Norman church here by 1100, as a few stones in the outside chancel walls show Norman tooling. The church was rebuilt in the early 13th century. It is built of rough flint and blocks of Totternhoe stone, with some later replacement by Ancaster stone. In the 14th century wider aisles were built and a tower, which has a turret and a Hertfordshire spike, was added. The south porch is of the 14th century, restored in 1880; the moulded rear arch of the south door is of the 13th century. The chancel was partially rebuilt in the 16th century: three windows in the south wall date from this time, but the lancet window in the north wall of the chancel is of the 13th century.
