| notes:- |
The first stone building was probably built in the early 12th century, there may have
been an earlier wooden church, The earliest record is in a Valor of Pope Nicholas
IV, dated 1291. Apart from repairs in earlier times a major reconstruction was made
in the early 19th century, after the tower collapsed. |
