An ancient church built in the 12th c. which uncommonly has a central tower. There have been many changes over the centuries and it is difficult to work out what is original and what isn’t. The tower is almost certainly how the Normans built it with only a few changes. The west porch was once part of the nave but the doorway is Norman and is probably in its original position. There was once a south transept which has been demolished to widen the aisle, probably when the nave was shortened.
