delightful, most endearing little church. ... Built of stone about 1540. Wooden bell-turret with pyramid roof. |

   |

| Brick S chapel as the family pew of the Duke of Newcastle, built in 1725-6, probably by Vanbrugh. At the same time alterations to the chancel. The C18 windows are arched. N aisle added in 1812. Also brick, with a castellated E end. | ||||

1840-2. Reredos of 1722 with nice carving. C18 three-decker pulpit. Open roof with tie-beams and collar-beams. |

| The N arcade has tall round oak piers. | ||||
 |
||||
| Newcastle Pew. Simple interior with a ceiling very sparingly decorated, but an extremely fine front towards the church like that of a garden temple or a summer house: two angle pillars and two columns, all Corinthian, carry a pediment. | ||||
