Brief description

2025-

"A church has stood at the centre of the village since Saxon times. The present building (which you are most welcome to visit: it is normally open during daylight hours) dates mainly from the 15th century, though parts, including the chancel, are earlier. The fine tower, lately restored, and with a good ring of six bells, is typical for that time. It is built of better stone than the earlier parts of the church. The massive blocks at its base are from the local quarry at Bayworth (we know this from the fossils they contain); but even to haul them those few hundred yards must have been a colossal task. At the top of the tower is an embattled parapet, with pinnacles and gargoyles at the angles. On the external south side of the church, look for the blocked lancet windows, part of an earlier construction of the nave...:
