"Parish Church; C12 with extensive late C19 restoration. Coursed, squared rubble with snecked rubble additions. Graduated slate roofs (lead roof to aisle) with stone copings and kneelers; bellcote with iron gable-cross to west end. Originally 2-cell plan with south aisle added and gabled porch rebuilt in 1886. Narrow slit window with semicircular head on north side of chancel probably original; others, multi-light, variously foiled and cusped are C19. Lead rainwater goods have dated rainwater heads (1886) and rosette decoration to guttering. Reset C12 south door has plain jambs; small carved figure to either end of shouldered lintel, blank tympanum with chevron decoration to voussoirs. 2 fragmentary inscribed Roman stones and part of medieval grave slab are built into inner porch walls. Internally, original chamfered semicircular chancel arch survives; late C19 octagonal arcade pier and responds. Late C12 font at west end of south aisle has octagonal bowl (recut?), with moulded underside, on shaft with zig-zag decoration; moulded necking to chamfered base."
