Built of red sandstone and dates from the early C13. In consists of a chancel, nave, south aisle and double north aisle. The outer north aisle is probably mid to late C13.
The bell turret and spire that rises above the east wall of the nave is probably the reason for the chancel arches, which would have been needed to support the weight. The arches are actually three narrow arches and deep enough such that there are actually east and west arches. Inside the chancel arches there are remains of C14 or C15 paintings of flowers and rosettes.
There are a number of monuments including a large classical style wall monument of 1632 dedicated to Elen Campion, and others from the C18 to members of the Bromley family. There is also some early fragments of stained glass from the C15.
The main monument however is the Bagot brass of 1407. This is dedicated to William Bagot, one of Richard II’s councilors at the time of his disposition and abdication to Henry IV.
