Church History
The stone and
flint village church was built at several different
periods. The south door dates from the 14th
century, and the nave was originally 12th
century. The chancel was rebuilt in the 14th
century, and the chancel arch too belongs to that
period, although it is now somewhat defaced. The font
is 12th century and is made of purbeck
marble. The glass in the east window is the glory of
the church. It is thought that there are only
two others like it in England, possible the work of the
same man. It consists of six late 14th
century medallions, with the heads of Christ, the four
evangelists and Mary Magdalene. The chantry chapel is
14th century; notice the brackets for
imagery. The tower has two bells: the first dates from
the 14th century and bears the mark
of Richard Wimbush, the other dates from the 16th
century.
