This building dates from 1710/11. The tower has a doocot at its head. The church underwent restoration in 1928 and in 1938 the windows, with their Y-shaped tracery, were added. By the 1980s, the B-listed church had lost its congregation and was falling into disrepair. It was used by a firm of graphic design consultants until 2003, when it was taken over by imPRESS International Media Ltd. The graveyard is still in use and from time to time there are burials. On such occasions, the office shows respect by closing and adjourning to the local hostelry.
