12th century | The church has been altered and extended through the centuries, and further additions were made in 1895–96. Most of the church is built in sandstone, and the 1895 addition is in magnesian limestone. The roof of the nave is tiled, and elsewhere the roofs have Welsh slates. The church consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, a chancel and vestry, and a west tower. The tower is in Perpendicular style, with two stages, a moulded string course, diagonal buttresses, a southwest stair turret, a three-light west window, and two-light bell openings. Above these is a string course with grotesque spouts, and an embattled parapet with crocketed pinnacles. The south porch is gabled with a sundial in the gable, and the doorway is Norman, consisting of a semicircular arch with double chevron decoration, and colonnettes with foliage capitals.[2][3] | II* |
