15th century | The body of the church was demolished in about 1976, leaving the tower standing alone. It is built in sandstone with a lead roof, and is in Perpendicular style. In the middle of the 18th century the tower was found to be leaning, and in 1833 James Trubshaw attempted to straighten it, but it still leans to the north. The tower is 96 feet (29.3 m) high, is in five stages, and has a battlemented parapet with crocketed pinnacles. The land on which the tower and former church stands are a scheduled monument.[2][3][4] | II* |
