Full Description
The W. end of the S. wall of a 15th-century nave remains. Early in the 16th century the West Tower was built; central on the E. wall of the tower is the apex of the weathering for a former nave roof indicating that the 15th-century nave was narrower than the present nave and that the tower was built central to it. In 1640 the Nave and Chapel were rebuilt on a simple rectangular plan and without structural division between them; at the same time the South Porch was added. In 1898-9 the present Chancel was added, the chancel screen was moved eastward and the chancel of 1640 became part of the nave. <2>
