Full Description
Built in 1787, the church is a plain Improvement-period rectangle, in coursed squared cherry-cocked rubble, with a bellcote. Five round-arched windows sit in the south wall. The west end of the church was rebuilt circa 1885, with three lancets and the porch and interior recast. Further additions were undertaken in 1942. A Recumbent Stone Circle lies in the kirkyard (MAB14682). Within the churchyard are four Commonwealth war graves.
