Background
History
The church dates from the 15th century. It is thought to have been consecrated on 24 February 1403. A college was founded in the church in 1416 which existed until 1547. It is noted for its high chancel with a processional subway from north to south. In 1900 there was a further restoration costing £1,000, which included the building of a new organ chamber, clergy and choir vestry, supervised by the architect J.A. Chatwin. The organ and choir were moved from the north transept to the north side of the chancel. The north chapel was opened out to the church, and the old stalls removed from the end of the south aisle to the choir.
