Grade II listed The church dates from the 13th century onwards, and was restored in 1896. It has a tower, aisleless nave and chancel under a single roof, with a south porch. The tower dates from the 13th century with a 19th-century embattled parapet. The nave and chancel are probably 14th century and were rebuilt in 1896 in memory of G.H.Fillingham at the expense of his widow. There is a carved oak pulpit dated 1636 with tester, the font is 14th century octagonal decorated with blind tracery. The porch was repaired in 1724. Externally there are two scratch dials on the south wall of the church, and one which appears to be reset as it is upside down.
