History

The present church dates from the 14th century. It was restored in 1718 for Sir Thomas Parkyns of Bunny Hall. There were also later restorations in 1890–1891 and 1911. The initial 14th-century build was temporarily halted by the spread of the plague into the village in 1350. The present building has developed over several centuries. The nave and aisles were built of loosely-coursed rubble, quite different from the hewn, squared stone of the later 14th-century chancel and tower. Inside there is an oak screen, also dated as 14th century, and the vestry has a medieval aumbry – a cupboard where the sacred vessels were kept. The south porch, with its stone seats, was added in the 15th century.[2]

The church is in a joint parish with

gollark: What?
gollark: It's a custom binary thing they came up with, and while the compression is good they really should just have... used SQLite and stored compressed bløbs or something.
gollark: Kiwix ships stuff as "zim" files, which are really just not a great format?
gollark: I disagree with the format they ship in, however.
gollark: I am busy downloading the entire thing, thank *you*.
