Excerpt from Parish Churches; Being Perspective Views of English Ecclesiastical Structures: Accompanied by Plans Drawn to an Uniform Scale, and Letter-Press Descriptions
This Church appears to have been rebuilt in the Early English style: that one existed here previously is unquestionable, as the nave piers and arches are of Norman character.
With the exception of the clear - story, which is Perpendicular, this Structure is a simple yet admirable model for a small Parish Church.
The effect Of the west end with its belfry is much injured by the addition of the clear-story, but as originally designed, it must have formed a very beautiful specimen of the most appropriate arrangement for so small a Church.* In the south wall of the Chancel is a very good piscina of Decorated character; and immediately beneath it, on the floor, is another formed by a large four - leaved flower with holes in the centre for the drain.
