Background
History
The church is medieval and the earliest traces are from the Norman period. Part of the church dates from the 12th century. The church has a Saxon wall and a Burma Star window. The short tower with its unique buttresses contains a ring of 6 bells, the oldest of which was cast in 1589. In this parish lived a devout young woman, Elizabeth Wallbridge, made famous as "The Dairyman's Daughter" in an early nineteenth-century poem by Legh Richmond. The war memorial was designed by local architect, Percy Stone (1856–1934).
