The Norman church underwent major renovation in the 14th, 15th, 17th and 19th centuries. The 19th century work is attributed to the office of Sir George Gilbert Scott.[1] The tower, which was built between 1480 and 1500,[4] is one of the smallest complete church towers in England.[2] The interior includes box pews, pulpit and altar rails, and the remains of wall paintings.[2]
