Church

The National Monuments Service's description

On the N side of a natural rise in undulating pasture roughly centrally within the graveyard (TS086-005001-). The undivided church (ext. dims. 21.1m x 8.67m; S wall Wth 1m) is aligned ENE-WSW, composed of rubble limestone, roughly coursed, with roughly dressed limestone quoins. It is entered by two opposing doorways, a pointed doorway (Wth 0.8m) at the W end of the N wall and a doorway with missing surrounds at the W end of the S wall. A possible priest's residence may be at the W end where beam-holes indicate an upper floor level or gallery. There are two windows centrally placed in the W gable, a small flat-headed lower window and an upper ogee-headed window with decorated spandrels. Otherwise the church was lit by a round-headed single-light window at the E end of the S wall, an ogee-headed single-light at the E end of the N wall and a two-light ogee-headed window in the E gable. At the E end of the S wall there is a round-headed aumbry which has an external chamber which terminates with a broach stop.
