When I first visited this church in 2005, it was with something of a sinking heart to arrive at the third church in a row that was locked without a keyholder notice.

The fine Norman doorway sheltered by the porch contains a door labelled 1819 in ironwork Roman numerals, which is a nice touch. A faded plaque tells us that. Repaired and beautified AD 1819.
