Dist:0.6km<br/>The Church stands on an ancient site and was entirely rebuilt in 1876 in the style of the 14th century. It consists of a chancel with north vestry and organ chamber, nave, south porch and west tower with spire. Unfortunately the church has recently had it's copper lightning conductor stolen!
