The old church (name unknown), a building of the Early English period, was, with the exception of the tower, taken down in 1856 and rebuilt: it now consists of chancel, nave, aisles, porch and a battlemented tower containing 6 bells, four of which were retuned and two re-cast in 1876, the latter being gifts respectively of the Rev. Edward Langdale M.A. late rector, and the other of the Earl of Chichester, and a clock with Westminster chimes was added by a bequest of the late Mrs. General Kemp. A set of silver parcel gilt communion plate was also presented, by subscription, at a cost of £80, in 1881. The old tower of this church possesses a very fine doorway, in the Tudor style, bearing the arms of the Pelham family, at the extremity of the dripstones : in panel above the door­way are boars' heads, the crest of the Lunsfordes of Whyly. The register dates from the year 1560. The living is a rectory, yearly value £400, with residence, in the gift of the Marquis of Abergavenny and held by the Rev.
