The church dates mainly from the 13th and early 14th centuries, the earliest part of the present building is the chancel which was built during the early 13th century. The square west tower was erected about 1300 and the final addition to the church was the magnificent south porch erected in the 15th century.
Inside the church, on the north wall, are the remains of four mediaeval wall paintings reminding us that the walls were probably covered with these before the Reformation.
West of the door is a 14 century St George, slaying the dragon, to the east of which is St. Christopher, carrying the Christ child over the water (above left). There is another smaller painting of St George and this is thought to date circa 1250 (above centre) and another depicting the martyrdom of St Edmund, who was used as target practice by the Danes (top right in the picture above). Above the chancel arch remains faint traces of a Doom painting
Having just received a small insight into our church we hope that you will feel that it would be worth a visit. Within the church a History and Guide booklet written by Roy Tricker, can be purchased that gives a comprehensive overview of every aspect of the building and its contents.
