Geocache Description:

A 30ml tube

  • The church of St Mary was mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086 but, except for a few stones in the walling, nothing of this early building remains. The church seems to have been rebuilt about the middle of the 13th century, and of this period are the chancel, the west wall of the nave and small parts of the west walls of the aisles.
  • About 1340 a north vestry was added to the chancel, and at the end of this century (and extending into the next) a further reconstruction took place beginning at the west end of the aisles and embracing the arcades, clerestory and porches, and the raising and altering of the chancel.
  • The tower and spire being ruinous were taken down and rebuilt in 1623. The upper part of the south porch was rebuilt around 1669. The roof and parapets were repaired early in the 19th century, and the church was generally restored in 1853, the vestry was rebuilt and the organ chamber and choir added in 1860. Another general restoration took place in 1885 and the chancel restored in 1912.
