History

A 14th century collegiate church, notable for two table tombs, many fine brasses, choir stalls with misericords, good stained glass and a Perpendicular font.

Brian Eldridge cast the original 5 bells in 1648. The Croydon bell founders, Gillett and Johnston, recast the old Tenor bell in 1934, added 3 Trebles and rehung the ring with ball bearings in a new two level steel frame.
