c. 1300 | The church was altered and extended through the centuries, particularly in the 15th and 16th centuries, and in 1854–55 George Gilbert Scott carried out a restoration and rebuilt the nave and the south aisle. The church is built in magnesian limestone with roofs of lead and stone slate, and it is mainly in Perpendicular style. It consists of a nave, a south aisle, a south porch, a chancel, a separately roofed south chapel, and a west tower. The tower has four stages, diagonal buttresses, a west doorway with a pointed arch, a three-light west window, string courses, gargoyles, and an embattled parapet with eight crocketed pinnacles.[2][3] | II* |
