Details	Church and graveyard, still in ecclesiastical use. It was built in 1806 near the site of its predecessor, which antiquarian reports give a medieval date and place closer to the centre of the graveyard, although there are now no visible remains. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a rectangular church with a small addition on the north elevation, set within an irregular graveyard. On the 2nd edition OS map the church has further additions to the north elevation, and additions to the west and south elevation. The church is a Gothic rubble-built building with a slate roof. The square addition to the south elevation is a baronial bell-tower with a saddleback roof, which is dated 1883. In the porch there are two old collection ladles, a jougs and a Dutch bell dated 1506. There are 18th century gravestones in the graveyard.
