The present church was much rebuilt in 1792, extensively restored in 1896 and the porch added in 1931. In 2011-12 the curch underwent a complete rewire with a new lighting and heating system. This will be followed by the addition of toilet and basic kitchen facilities."
Noted in Pevsner, Harris and Antram (1989): "Font. Apparently made up in the C19 from a Perp[endicular] bowl and an E[arly] E[nglish] base." The font is indeed a composite one consisting of an octagonal basin with plain vertical sides, a thick moulding below, and tapering underbowl chamfer with a moulding at the bottom; the pedestal base is square and has thin awkward looking colonnettes on the flat chamfered sides; stands on a small square plinth [illustrated in Flickr [www.flickr.com/photos/52219527@N00/8309908823/] [accessed 18 January 2014].
