  • PARISH CHURCH (Built 1911, 20th Century - 1900 AD to 1999 AD)

Description

Grade II. Parish Church. 1911, by Fellowes Prynne. Ashlar with copper spire. Perpendicular Gothic. Brasses from former church, including the earliest surviving brass of a civilian in England, circa 1350 (B1).
Ian Toplis suggests that Sir Gilbert Scott restored the chancel of the former church [CAS 01543] in 1868; however Pevsner states that the new church was established in 1828, enlarged by Scott in 1865 and almost entirely rebuilt in 1911-12 (B2-3).
