History

The church dates back to Saxon times, with part of the building remaining within the additions that have been made over the years. The aisles are 14th century and the Tower was added in the 15th. The ring of 8, dates from 1816, with a further two Warner Trebles added in 1877. It was necessary to have the sixth recast and the whole peal tuned and rehung in a new frame - all in 1924, by Mears.
