This church is a curiosity. Its nave was rebuilt in 1825-6 by James Cooke. He was a local mason, but he chose to support the nave with cast-iron columns. Cast-iron was coming into favour at the time for more utilitarian structures, but here we have a bold incursion into sacred architecture. The style was less bold - a simple mock-Gothic intended to blend with the tower and chancel left from the medieval church.
