There has been a church on this site since 1162 but only parts of the church dating back to 1352 are still standing. The church that you see today is mainly Victorian but it incorporates the 14thc West tower and the nave arches. The extensive restoration took place in 1909 -10 at which time the pitched roof was restored and new aisles added.
In 1935, a two manual (two keyboard) Hanson & Harrison organ was installed, a fine example of a pneumatic action instrument. Later additions include the Bricstan Room.
The West tower has a slightly irregular shape due to a stairway hidden inside the south-east buttress and is surmounted by a clock, a little spire, and a battlemented parapet that comes up into pyramidal pinnacles on the corners.
The big east window, which acts as the war memorial for the parish.depicts Christ in the centre surrounded by a host of angels and figures carrying the flags of the Allies, led by France and Britain.
The church is proudly multi -denominational with each group worshipping in its own style, so meeting the needs of the local population.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
