Background

History

A church has been present in the village since at least 1230, and it is possible that a church was here during the Saxon era. The tower was added in about 1450, and the rest of the church was rebuilt in 1506. Further rebuilding took place in 1872, and most of the exterior is the result of that rebuilding.

Architecture

Inside the church there is no division between the nave and the chancel. The five-bay arcade is carried on octagonal piers, the arches on the north side being lower and more pointed. There is a ring of six bells, all of which were cast in 1793 by Thomas Mears I at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.
