• OS Grid Square TL 183598.
• The church of St Mary consists of a chancel, nave, north aisle, south aisle, tower at the south-east corner of the south aisle, a modern north porch and a south vestry. The walls are of rubble with stone dressings, and the tower is of ashlar. The roofs are covered with lead and tiles.
• The church is mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086, but the earliest work visible is the late 12th century north arcade of the nave and, possibly, the base of the south wall of the chancel. Considerable rebuilding seems to have taken place during the latter half of the 13th century, probably commencing with the building of the tower, then rebuilding of the south arcade and aisle, the chancel and the widening of the north aisle. The clearstory was added in the 15th century.
• The tower fell in 1685, destroying the chancel and a great part of the nave and south aisle. The chancel was rebuilt at once in a mean manner; after some delay, the tower was erected in 1687. The church was restored in 1858 when the chancel was rebuilt and the north porch added; the porch was rebuilt in 1873 and the vestry was built in 1929.
