Grade I listed.
The church stands remote, although the village may have once stood here.
Most of the church dates from the 15th century although some walls may be earlier. It consists of a west tower, chancel and nave with no aisles. Like many churches, the chancel is inclined to the South by a few degrees. Sometimes known as “a weeping chancel” a reminder of the position of Christ’s head as he was dying on the cross.
The chancel roof is a cambered tie beam with a crown post. On the north wall of the sanctuary there are memorials to the Fuller family.
There is a 13th century North Chapel which was probably apsidal. It is now a vestry.
The west tower is 15th century with a narrow tower arch. The East end of the Chapel is rebuilt in brick, probably 17th century although the chimney could be later.
The font is a 12th century square marble bowl on a 19th-century pedestal.
Some of the windows have 15th century fragments. There are three piscinae throughout the church, there is also a stoup by the South door.
Some of the South Windows still have their 15th century label stops with carved heads. There is also a priests door.
Restoration was carried out in the late 19th century, there were further repairs in 1959 and 1978.
