Absolutely fabulous church, well worth a visit and a generous donation to keep the place open. Lovely carvings on the choir stalls and some of the banners are wonderful. If you are passing please call in and have a good look around and enjoy the peace and tranquility as well.

A now disused church that's somewhat out the way but now I'm the care of the churches conservation trust and being cared for.. Full of interesting features and history including an elaborate canopied family pew and multiple box pews of significant age, in addition there is an old wooden reliquary associated possibly with st Agnes and probably the only one of its kind. Other worthwhile features include an ornate and undamaged brass of a preist, ornate stalls near the altar and the large gravestone of 2 brothers known as the bluestone where the start of marriage ceremonies were and still are held and coffins placed for funerals.. an interesting and fascinating local tradition

Wonderful old church, still with the ancient 'boxes' for the richest families as well as pews. It lists Rectors from 1181 to the present day. Well worth a visit.
