The walls are probably mediaeval but no remaining features are earlier than the 18th century.

The irregular oval 12th century font has a flattened rim decorated with a serpent, a human head in relief, a sign resembling a P and a zig-zag pattern. The bell, cast in 1582, has an inscription:

THIS BEL WAS CAST IN THE YER OF OWER LORD GOD WDLXXXII

Set against the north wall of the chancel is a mid 13th century carved gravestone.
