| Summary: | There is no sign of an earlier church here, and the start of work on the present building must have been in the early 14th century. Despite the late 17th century rebuilding, it is clear that the chancel was built in the early 14th century with two exceptionaly large and wide lancets on either side of the East end. Below the southern lancet is an ogeed piscina, and just to the west are the remains of a very fine decorated tomb recess, which must once containted the fine brass of Henry De Grofhurst, who was Rector here from 1311-61, and was responsible for the rebuiling of the church. His brass style, and in the North wasll of the chancel, there is also a two-light window with reticulated tracey. There is another window with reticulated tracey at the West end of the North aisle. It is also clear when the church was built a chantry was also erected on its South side woth a two-bay arcade, eve though the documentry evidence suggests that this was on the North. The rest of the South chapel was rebuilt in the mid-15th century, except for three-light East window, which is early Perpendicular, and seems to have Ragstone tracey. |
