During the first half of the 14th century the church was entirely rebuilt. chancel the single-light window in the north wall is original, that in the south wall a copy, probably retaining its original splay. Farther west is a 'low side' window, probably also of the 14th century. Six 16th-century benches in the nave have roughly carved finials. An hour-glass stand of wrought-iron, probably of the 17th century.There are inscribed floor slabs in the nave to Mary and Robert Hadsley, 1824 and 1840. accessed: 06 February 2011.
