Notes: The present building dates from 1825 and replaces an older church. The significant yew grows on the NNE perimeter of this large churchyard. H.Thornhill Timmins in 1899 described 'a great dark yew-tree and yonder is the holy well'. This is found in the garden of one of the old cottages opposite the churchyard, though the well is now blocked up.
