Description
In the medieval period this was a parochial chapel dependent on St. Nicholas. It dates from the early 12th century, but the first tower is probably 13th century. It was considerably enlarged in the 14th century and early 15th century. The work of the latter part of the 15th century was probably the gift of Robert Rhodes. LISTED GRADE 1
