History
The church dates from the 11th century but the existing structure is mainly thirteenth century and contains Saxon and Norman work.[2] The chancel was restored in 1865 at the expense of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. More substantial work was carried out in 1889 at a cost of £2,000, when a new roof, new flooring and new seating were provided. The church reopened on 23 October 1889[3] by the Bishop of Southwell.
Memorials
The chancel contains memorials to the Bothe family. The south aisle has a memorial to Edward Edmonson who died in 1589. To the west end is a plaque to John Trowell who died in 1766. The north aisle has two thirteenth century effigies and a stone slab to Richard Shylton who died in 1510.
The churchyard contains war graves of five soldiers and an airman of World War I and an airman of World War II.[4]
Organ
The pipe organ dates from 1906 when an instrument was installed by Harrison and Harrison. Details of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[5]
