Appraisal
This church, disused for many years and now in derelict condition, is picturesquely located at the end of a tree-lined avenue in a graveyard which predates the present church and is surrounded by a stone wall. The joinery of the large windows is particularly fine having timber tracery and narrow glazing bars.
