More about this scene
Close to the road, the solid but impressive ashlar tower dominates the immediate street scene with its substantial angled buttresses and crocketted finials; these are not 15th-century, but were added in 1832, after the collapse of the original tower, by the local architect William Flint (1801-1862), whose specialism was Greek Revival. The body of the church is fairly run-of-the-mill with its four-bay nave arcade, but it does house some 19th-century stained glass of interest. The usual Victorian 'restoration' was carried out by William Slater (1819-1872) in 1860.
