Description
1. Uncertain date, North chapel circa 1500, chancel and nave rebuilt 1674, North porch is modern.

2. Constructed of limestone rubble with grit dressings and modern slate roof. The chancel, which is structurally undivided from the nave, has two single light windows of c.1674, into one of which has been carved the date and initials OH 1674. The nave features a blocked doorway of a similar date and although the North doorway is modern, it appears to incorporate the voussoirs of a C12 arch. The North chapel was added c.1500 and is divided from the chancel by an arcade of two four-centred arches. There is an original window of two treffoiled lights in a square frame in the North wall. The roof to the chapel may also be original.
