The building

There has been a church on this spot since before the Domesday survey, though almost nothing of that one is left except some of the stone at the base of the tower, which is visibly older and slightly the wrong colour.

What you can see

The nave is thirteenth-century. The roof is fifteenth, and worth looking up at: the carved bosses at the intersections are all different, and one of them is a green man that the Victorians missed when they tidied.

The east window is not medieval. The medieval one was blown out in 1941, along with most of the windows on that side, and what is there now was made in 1953 by a workshop in the next county.

The tower

Eight bells, the oldest cast in 1687. They are rung on Sunday mornings and on Thursday evenings for practice, which is loud, and which we are told is either the best or the worst thing about living on Church Lane depending on who you ask.

Coming in

The church is open every day from about nine until dusk. There is no charge and no expectation. People come in to sit down, to get out of the rain, and to look at the roof.
