Description;
The nave dates from the 9th Century, as does the lower
part of the tower, built originally as a porch and converted into a
tower in the 11th Century. The outline of the porch roof
can still be seen in the west wall of the tower.
The
original Saxon roof lines can also be seen in the chancel and nave
walls. The chancel itself was demolished and rebuilt, twice it's
original length, in the 14th Century. The nave was
widened in the 12th Century by piercing the side walls
with round headed arches to produce two isles. The remaining Saxon
windows were blocked up.
