Full Description
The greater part of the nave and both of the side aisles were pulled down in 1829 and replaced with a short annex, with porches either side of a vestry, by James Beadel (or Witham). James Brooks restored the church 1896-7, principally strengthening the tower. Chancel reopened 1902 with new furnishings.<1><2>
Features and fittings include: five C17 bells; two late C17 chairs in the chancel; iron-bound chest, on wheels, painted with foliage and figures of a man and woman, probably C17, thought to be Flemish, Dutch or German (but uncertain), in nave; early C17 communion table; plate includes cup and cover paten of 1561; Royal Arms of Charles II in S porch, painted on canvas.<1> Bench ends, four C15, with traceried panels, and poppyheads and the figure of a bagpiper. Fittings include C17 pulpit.<2>
Site Assessment (Rodwell & Rodwell 1977) = The graveyard has suffered extensive clearance and is now open and devoid of vegetation.<3>
