| notes:- |
There is believed to have been a church here about 620, probably a wooden building,
replaced by stone about 1000, rebuilt 1633? There was a new building in 1794, and
restoration in 1855 when a tower was added. The tower was not bonded to the older
building, which has caused a lot of trouble since. |
