Appraisal
This well-maintained church is still in regular use and retains the majority of its original materials and decorative features to both the interior and exterior. Despite its small size, the church displays many details of high artistic merit, including carved stone details and stained glass, and items of joinery such as the panelled gallery and exposed timber trusses of the roof.
