Church overview and information - tap/scroll 

The original Norman design of the church stood until 1821 when the building was enlarged to accommodate the flourishing congregation of the town.

Inside the church, the magnificent Norman chancel arch remains, while outside two medieval scratch dials can still be found - one inside the porch and one on the south wall of the nave.
