History and description
The church dates from the 13th to 15th century, but was the subject of a substantial restoration in 1873.
It contains a 15th-century font. The tower of 1877 has five sides in the lower part and eight in the upper. Features of interest include a musicians' gallery, the altar table made by Sir Reginald Mohun, 1621, the Jacobean pulpit, and a monument to the wife of Will Drew.[4][5]
The church was placed onto the National Heritage List for England in August 1964.[4]
