II* GV

2. A church, probably of C12 origin but largely demolished in 1863 and rebuilt in 1864. A flint rubble wall with stone dressings. The west tower has diagonal buttresses and a castellated parapet. The north transept is C15 and the roof of the north transept and nave are C15 with moulded and cambered tie beams with crown posts with moulded caps and bases and curved braces. There is a fine early C15 chancel screen with much carving and traceried work. In the north transept there is a wall monument to Sir William Waad (d 1623), in black stone and marble. The church occupies an important situation at the focal point of the village. Graded for its topographical value and internal features, particularly the C15 chancel screen. (RCHM 1).
