A further restoration in 1885 incorporates some of the 14th century materials from the first church including the font. The church itself is situated within a working farmyard and sheep are often found grazing within the churchyard. Inside the church, a beautiful stained glass window depicting St John the Baptist overlooks the altar whilst opposite, at the other end of the church, is an elevated viewing gallery.
