The churchyard contains the gravestone of the mother of Capt. James Cook whose boyhood was spent on a farm in the parish. The church dates from the 12c with the porch being a 13c addition. It originally had a tower but this was knocked down by a 19c vicar to make room for more graves. Around the back is a 19c vestry built on whinstone foundations.
