About Us
The church, which has Saxon origins, visible in the stonework of the south wall, is made from limestone and has a stone slate roof. A Saxon arch leads from the porch to the nave, with a Saxon sun dial over it. It was extended, including the tower, in the 15th century, and in the 1840s the north aisle was added and the chancel rebuilt.
During this building work, a series of Saxon carvings, including one of the crucifixion, was rediscovered. The carvings predate the Norman conquest and are estimated to be from around 1050. Now set into the walls of the nave and aisle, each panel is of fine workmanship and is well-preserved.
The font is from the 15th century, and includes a carving of the Green Man - a fertility symbol with pre-Christian origins, thought to signify spring and rebirth. The tower contains four bells, the oldest of which date from 1720.
The church forms an integral part of village life. It is used on a weekly basis for worship and communion; while a group of villagers have recently formed the 'Fabric Fund' - a fundraising committee dedicated to raising money to protect the building's ancient historical significance, as well as developing some parts of the church to include toilets and small kitchen space, ensuring we can continue to use and enjoy this beautiful place well into the future.
