History

Bell-cote

The church consists of a south aisle, south porch, double bell-cote, chancel and nave.[2][3]

A church has been present on this site since the Domesday Book of 1086.[2][3][4]

The chancel was probably rebuilt in the 13th century[3] and the bell-cote was added at the same time.[2][5][4]

A new roof and new windows were added in the 14th century.[3] The north wall of the nave was raised.[2]

The church was restored in 1881[5][4] and the chapel in 1930.[2]

Former rector, Charles Spencer Ellicott has a wall tablet which was placed by his son, Charles Ellicott, the Bishop of Bristol and Gloucester.[2][3]
