In an open,secluded spot, this restored church has plain Norman doorways and slit windows, with a chancel supported by brick diagonal buttresses, one of which is dated 1682. Ironwork from the 12th century survives on the south door: a 12th century north doorway existed at one time but was blocked up. The belfry rests on 8 massive wooden posts with arched struts, and contains five bells. Outside the south wall of the chancel is a monument marking the burial site of the son of the local blacksmith, the naturalist John Ray (1628 -1705), who laid the foundations of botany and zoology, with a systematic classification of species.
