Uploader's Comments

Parish Church. Mostly of 1866 by Joseph Goddard of Leicester, with a few fragments of the earlier Church incorporated. Coursed ironstone rubble with Welsh slate steeply pitched roof. Small single celled structure, with western bell turret and chancel only slightly narrower than the nave. Windows are Perpendicular Gothic in style with squared stilted hood moulds, with label stops and may be restorations of original windows. One possible mediaeval lancet window. Mediaeval also the blocked north doorway. Victorian Gothick gabled chimney to the boilerhouse. (Photo Apr 2008).
