"Churchyard

The entrance to the churchyard is on the west side by single and double gates, which were late Victorian but have recently been replaced in the same style and design. The parish war memorial stands on the west boundary, but there are no memorials or graves of note. The dominant feature of the entrance is the yew trees which have been clipped into the shape of domes.

History

The architecture of the church has developed over the centuries. It probably dates from the early 12th Century, with the first written record of a church at Rowington contained in a deed of 1157. The nave north wall is Norman; in the 1280s it was given a new west wall and considerably widened southwards. The tower was built in c1300 followed shortly after by the Chancel which in 1490 was given new south windows. A Chantry Chapel was added on the north side of the Chancel in the 1400s, this was incorporated into the north aisle in 1554. The Lady Chapel was created in 1960 when the Chancel screen was moved across to the north aisle."
