Historia
Man tror att det har funnits en kyrka eller kapell på eller nära den nuvarande platsen i nästan 700 år. Den första anteckningen om en rektor går tillbaka till 1379. Den första kyrkan på platsen skulle ha varit en träbyggnad. De befintliga uppteckningarna börjar 1572. 1827 fattades beslutet att "på grund av förfall var den [kyrkan] olämplig för offentlig gudstjänst". Den nuvarande kyrkan byggdes 1827–28 efter en design av George Latham . Koret förlängdes, och ett tvärskepp tillkom 1884. Ytterligare ändringar gjordes 1905.
Arkitektur
Exteriör
Kyrkan är byggd i tegel med skiffertak . Dess plan består av ett västtorn, ett långhus och ett kor . Arkitekturhistorikern Nikolaus Pevsner ansåg att kyrkan är "helt georgisk " till sin stil och att denna stil bibehölls i 1884 års tillägg.
Interiör
Koret har ekpanel med sniderier av solrosor. Reredos innehåller representationer av Agnus Dei och Alfa och Omega tecken. Det högra korfönstret är till en design av Burne-Jones och gjordes av Morris and Company . I kyrkan finns en sockenkista daterad 1684 och ett antal väggminnesmärken med anor från 1800-talet. Den tvåmanuella orgeln byggdes av Hill 1884 och 1890 flyttades den från västra läktaren till söder om koret. Det finns en ring med åtta klockor. Sex av dessa castades av Gillett & Johnston 1920 och de andra två 1982 av Whitechapel Bell Foundry .
