This gem of medieval architecture, with its handsome bell-cote, was probably built to replace an ancient pagan shrine,
well away from the village. The pre-Reformation stone altar-slab is still in use. One of the 14th century
roof-bosses shows the 'Green Man' - an ancient fertility symbol (later adapted by the Christian church) of a face with protruding foliage.
The memorials and graveyard inscriptions are of unusual interest.
