Notes about this historic site
1 Description: Undivided chancel and nave, with N aisle and vestry, tower W of the aisle and porch W of the nave. The main body of the church is probably of about 1450 and the aisle somewhat later in the 15th century. The tower is earlier than the aisle and probably also than the nave. Restored in 1900. A chapel was recorded here in 1367; no trace remains, except perhaps the tower of the present church.

Comments
Who on earth decided to attach a clock to one side of the tower. They’ve actually chiselled some stonework away to make it fit. Why wasn’t it fitted centrally or did Stevie Wonder have a hand in it?
