Apart from a prizewinning extension of 2010, the basic structure dates almost completely from the 14th century.

The extraordinarily large west window has kept its original Decorated tracery. The window in the north wall of the chancel has original glass depicting a Doom, or the Last Judgement, with some people being boiled in a cauldron while others are in a cart pushed by devils.

Don't miss the wonderful font cover, with its intricately carved oak panels and opening doors.
