Looking west from the chancel. Both chancel and nave were much shortened as part of its conversion to a dwelling by Sir Thomas Bell in the mid 16th century, with intermediate floors also being added, as shown by the fireplaces on the end wall. The original fabric of the church dates from the 13th – this includes the roof trusses - and 14th centuries. Listed Grade I.
