"Spectacular and airy, this medieval flintwork church lies behind the village and beside the Old Hall, now a farm. The church has a tower with parapets accented with slender pinnacles. The nave and chancel are impressively high and inside the double hammerbeam nave roof is a splendid example of medieval craftsmanship."
