Appraisal

Situated on a natural hillock and within the same graveyard as a ruined medieval church, this Board of First Fruits church continues a tradition of worship on this site over many centuries. No longer in use, the nineteenth-century church has fallen into disrepair but the main structure of the church is intact and firm evidence of all window and door types remains. The variety of window types is unusual and adds much character to the building, as does the slate roof, cut-stone details and lime render. The glebe house for the church is located across the field to the southeast.
