Lovely church. As a new arrival in the area, I've been made very welcome and will be attending when I'm next down here. Thank you.

Historic (though not as old as many parish churches) and atmospheric. Church well-kept - but large churchyard mainly wild and overgrown, preventing a proper exploration of the gravestones . Still, worth making the trek to the far corner of the parish.
