Walker organ.The oldest part of the church is the baptistry, which is below the belfry and tower (built onto the church in 1745) and it contains some remnants of the mediaeval church mentioned in records of 1253 and 1291. The font dates from the 14th or 15th century. The present church is the result of considerable rebuilding in 1827 when much of the mediaeval cruciform building was lost. The church has some excellent stained glass windows which are worthy of examination by the visitor.
