History and architecture

The church is medieval in origin, of Old Red Sandstone. The tower may be "no earlier than the early nineteenth century."[2] The church was lightly restored in the nineteenth century including work by John Pollard Seddon.[2]

The interior has a fifteenth-century barrel roof and contemporary fittings.[3] It also has some notable stained glass windows of the nineteen twenties and of the later twentieth century, including a "brilliantly coloured"[2] "Genesis" window by Geoffrey Robinson.
