Church, medieval, restored 1884. Nave, chancel, south-west tower/porch.
Flint rubble (the nave partly plastered), limestone dressings. Plaintiled
roofs with parapet gables; the tower has a pyramid plaintiled roof with open
eaves. Chancel of mid C13: south doorway hoodmoulded with corbel faces, and
single-light north and south windows. Early C14 alterations: 3-light windows

in nave side walls. C14 nave doorway, roll-and-fillet moulded with square

chancel window. Another piscina for south nave side-altar. Plain C14 south

floor, added C15; simple doorway. The upper stage was removed, perhaps

archdeacon's report of 1602 describes both nave and chancel as "exceeding
ruinous"). Chancel arch of moulded stucco with flanking red brick walling;
Gothick in form perhaps of late C17 or early C18. Scissor-braced chancel roof
of 1884 with sections of moulded cornice perhaps of C14, reused. Octagonal

on nave walls, late C18, with Credence, Lord's prayer and Ten Commandments.
