Occupying an ancient Celtic site, this 12th and 13th century building replaces, and incorporates parts of, an earlier Saxon structure. The church was extensively restored in 1876, when the weather-boarded belfry was completely rebuilt.
It contains a fine carved wood pulpit dating from the 17th century and the stained glass “Hostage” windows by John K. Clark, which commemorate the five year ordeal of local journalist John McCarthy and his fellow Beirut hostages.
Sunday services are held approximately monthly, as the service rota is shared between the four churches of the parish.
