15th century | The body of the church was demolished in about 1976, leaving the tower standing alone. It is built in sandstone with a lead roof, and is in Perpendicular style.

The tower is 96 feet (29.3 m) high, is in five stages, and has a battlemented parapet with crocketed pinnacles. The land on which the tower and former church stands are a scheduled monument.[2][3][4] | II* | |
