Notes about this historic site

1 Chancel with N chapel and vestry, nave, N and S aisles, S porch and W tower. The old parish church seems to have consisted of chancel, nave, and S aisle of 14th century date and a 15th century tower. A N aisle was added in 1847; the S aisle rebuilt 1858; dormer windows inserted into the roof 1875; the chancel largely rebuilt in 1884 when the N chapel was added; and the vestry built 1914. Apart from the 15th century tower the only Medieval features of the building are the S wall of the chancel and the E bay of the nave S arcade. 15th century font. The chapel of Lillington is recorded in 1121; by 1291 it was a parish church.
