The church has an unusual tower; positioned in the NW corner of the church it is square at ground stage, octagonal at upper stages with a pyramid roof, and is characteristic of Normandy churches. The nave was originally aisleless and may be pre-Conquest.
About this church
The south aisle was added in the late 12th century and in the mid 13th century the chancel was rebuilt with a crypt under its east end. Also in the 13th century the arches of the south arcade were rebuilt, and the south porch added.
The North chapel contains the lavish tomb of Lady Margaret de Grey (1276-1311).
The large West window was added in the late 15th century. During the Civil War the de Greys stained glass was destroyed. In the North chapel there is a large monument commemorating the Blake family.
