Background
History
The church originates from the 12th century, it was extended in the 13th century, and partly rebuilt during the following century.
Architecture
Dividing the naves and chancels is a central arcade in three bays. In the north wall are two tomb recesses, each containing two effigies dating probably from the 14th century. These are thought to represent members of the Delabere family who lived locally. The naves are divided from the chancels by two large 16th-century wooden screens. In the middle of the screens is a Jacobean pulpit. Each screen is in two bays, with a central door.
