The others include a church, headstones and a war memorial in the churchyard, the churchyard wall and gates, a village cross, and a former chapel.
The church has been altered and extended through the centuries, and in 1854–55 the north aisle and the chancel were rebuilt by S. S. Teulon. Much of the church is built in ironstone, the porch is in sandstone, the chancel in blue lias, and the dressings are in limestone, the chancel roof is tiled, and the other roofs are in lead. The church consists of a nave with a clerestory on the north side, a north aisle, a south porch, a chancel, and a west tower. The tower has two stages, clasping buttresses, a west lancet window, two-light bell openings, and a quatrefoilfrieze under an embattledparapet. The porch has a re-set quatrefoil frieze, and a round portal, within which is a fragment of a Normantympanum.[2][3]
