History
The church was designed by J.B. Everard[3][2] (1844–1923),[4]who is buried in the churchyard, and was built in 1899,[3] in memory of the Everard family.[5][2] It is built of granite and its exterior masonry is laid like crazy paving.[3]
The tower has three bells cast in 1899 by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough.[6] The tower's saddleback roof is topped off by a flèche.
