The view from the south. The church is a relatively untouched example of a small 12th century Norman church consisting of tower, nave and apsidal chancel, with a later 14th century south aisle in decorated style attached. The upper stage of the tower is of similar date. The porch is 19th century. Listed Grade I. There is a bench mark http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3799106 at the base of the west face of the tower.
