Church History

 

The church is a grade I listed building of 14th century origin.  Of special interest are the north chancel and chapel, both built of brick and dated by a brass inscription 1532.  The triumphant entry of brick into church buildings is a significant sign of the Tudor age.  Of particular interest also are the two 16th century stained glass windows of Flemish origin showing scenes from the passion.  The church itself occupies a unique position, in that it sits astride the meridian line - probably the only church in England to do so.
