History
[edit]The church dates from the 15th century. The roof of the nave collapsed in a storm on 15 July 1762; the nave and tower, of Perpendicular style, is in ruins. The nave is of knapped flint, and has large windows with remains of tracery.[2][3]
The chancel is known to have been in use in 1762. It was restored in 1872 and is still in regular use. It is of flint with ashlar dressings, and has a thatched roof. The interior includes an octagonal 15th-century font.[2][3]
