History and architecture

The church is thirteenth century in origin but with much fifteenth century work.[2] The double bell gable, and more, was restored in 1853–4 by John Pollard Seddon.[3] It is of Old Red Sandstone.[3]

The interior contains a late medieval screen, "of particular interest."[2] The church register of baptisms and burials dates from the year 1758 and that of marriages from 1757.[4]

Services are held on the second Sunday of the month at 10.30am.
