History

The church is built in the Early English style[2] and consists of a nave, clerestory, south porch, tower with spire and 3 bells, and a chancel. Each of the nave arcades have 4 arches and are supported on octagonal piers with moulded capitals. The chancel screen was restored in memory of Miss Louisa Blakeney in 1894. The chancel also has a piscina as does the east end of the aisles.[3]

In the north aisle, there is a restored upper slab belonging to the altar tomb of Roesia de Verdun (died 1247), who founded nearby Grace Dieu Priory.[4] The south aisle has a memorial window to Charles Thompson. The church was restored in 1850 and 1877.[3]
