Scene Description: Source caption: "The church dates from the 13th century onwards and was enlarged and restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1860. There is a nave, north aisle, central tower, north and south transept "stubs", chancel and south porch. The church is built with banded and coursed ironstone with slate roofs. The roof has recently been renewed. On the west wall, on the top of the central buttress there is a carving depicting the Annunciation. The 156 feet tall tower has a spire with lucarnes and crocketts and is supported by four flying buttresses which span from the angles of the tower. It was rebuilt in 1860 after it was struck by lightning. The base of the tower has small north and south transepts, one is used as a Chapel, the other as the Sacristy. The crossing arch is 13th century. The 13th century nave is unusual in that it is divided down the middle with a 2 1/2 bay arcade with tall octagonal piers. The four bay north aisle was added in 1860 by Scott. It now contains several modern stained-glass windows. The nave roof has decorative bosses and dates from the 14th century. The south porch also dates from that period, there is a seated figure of the Virgin over the south door. There are also several mass dials outside. The chancel was probably rebuilt in the 18th and 19th century, but contains the remains of a 13th century priest's door. The east window is located above a large reredos with a painted triptych, partly obscured it. There is a two manual organ situated at the west end of the nave. The church has several monuments, including one to Sir Charles Hussey, died 1664. There is also a 17th century poor box. The church h[a]d just undergone significant repairs to the roof and several other areas. (2016)."
