The roofs are covered with slate. The three Eastern bays of the nave were probably built in the C12th. The North aisle of four bays was added 1200-1210, and the nave was then lengthened. Late in the C15th, the chancel was rebuilt and the West tower added. The North aisle was partly rebuilt and apparently widened in the C17th or C18th. A South porch and South aisle were added in the C19th, the nave widened about 6" towards the South, and the church was generally restored. Grade II* (B4, B7, and B8).
