NOTES: The nave is 12th century, the tower mainly mid 13th century, but reconstructed after being burnt out by Montifortian rebels in 1266. The church was added to in the 14th century, including a chapel and over the nave is a 15th century hammerbeam roof. The church was restored in 1875-1878 by W. M. Fawcett.
NOTES: The church was designed by E. S. Prior and A. Randall Wells, who had been Lethaby's Clerk of Works at Brockhampton (1904). Many of the fixtures and fittings are by Ernest Gimson, notably the oak panelled chancel and the oak choir stalls. The font was carved by the site architect Randall Wells.

NOTES: The present church is thought to date back to the 10-11th century. although there was a monastery on the site from 705. It was converted into a school and cottage in the 18th century and largely forgotten, until rediscovered in 1856. It was later restored to ecclesiastical use from 1874-1880
