Notes about this historic site
1 In 1848 the parish church was entirely rebuilt on a new site.
2 Built by Henry Clutton. Nave and chancel may actually be of different dates as they do not look like the work of the same man, or the same generation. The nave has thin windows and no aisles, and still the proportions of the Commissioners’ churches, while the chancel is almost High Victorian, with the tricky handling of the arch and screen of the chancel and of other details.

Comments
A barrel organ was installed in 1889 and then replaced ten years later by a finger organ.
