Close to Ermine Street, a vital artery in Roman Britain, this small Medieval village church has attractive 12th-century arcade with wonderful carvings and a sturdy and handsome tower.
Foundations of a former apse are visible and further research may show that the church is of earlier date than the 12th-century.
18th-century additions include interesting Benefaction Boards.
The church stands in a pretty churchyard surrounded by the village houses.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
