By 1854 the church was in a dilapidated condition and was rebuilt in 1855 by Hussey, using much of the old materials. There was a nave with clerestory, north and south aisles, and also a spire on the tower roof. The lower stages of the tower still contain some mediaeval masonry. In 1916 there was a severe fire which left only the walls standing. Due to limited funds, only the chancel was given a permanent roof, the nave had a temporary roof which lasted nearly 80 years! The spire was never rebuilt, and the aisle arcades replaced with brick and concrete ones. The church was re-ordered in 1992 when the nave and aisle roofs, internal columns and pews were removed, and a new roof which spans the whole width of the church containing a glass lantern skylight. Services are now held in the nave part of the church, with the chancel being used for the creche and for more intimate services. There is a fine east window by Edward Payne. The church now has a Kitchen, toilet and Wi-fi.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000437211/e567cc9a-5841-4d72-b70d-2d3058244c20.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) [Photo](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000437211/e567cc9a-5841-4d72-b70d-2d3058244c20.jpg) by [Jules & Jenny](https://www.flickr.com/people/78914786@N06) ([Creative Commons Attribution 2.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)) ![There has been a church on the site since the 13th century.
