History
The church is built of Triassic sandstone.[3] The north aisle was added in the 13th century, as was the tower, which now has a broach spire.[4] The 14th century saw the chancel, which is longer and wider than the nave,[5][4] being built and the north aisle enlarged.[2] The south aisle was added the following century and a clerestory was added.[5]
