Background
History
The church was built in 1815 on the site of a previous church. The chancel of the previous church had blown down in 1802. The interior was restored in 2001 when the chancel screen and choir stalls were removed, a toilet was provided and the entrance was improved. In 2005, the bellcote was restored after it had been damaged by a deathwatch beetle.
Architecture
This is plain, with a raised chancel. There was formerly a wooden chancel screen. The doorway has twisted balusters and is dated 1698. In the church is a painted memorial plaque to the Whitehead family, which is probably by Randle Holme III. The font is dated 1635; it is round and decorated with a date and a single flower.
