The Church as seen today is the result of the extensive restoration work that was undertaken in 1859-60 by the architect Giles Gilbert Scott, when the walls were completely refaced with the dark knapped flint, a fine example of the Kentish craft and Bathstone facings. There are two original doorways, the west doorway through which you enter the Church, and a small one in the north east corner by the side of the chancel showing deep chevron mouldings. The west doorway is mid-to-late 12th century. The 3-light west window above it which contains much original masonry is in the early perpendicular style and the one late-medieval survival, possibly dating from the late 14th century. The octagonal font is carved out of rare Cornish red serpentine marble and is considered to be of outstand- ing workmanship with the bowl supported by a central pillar Stilt‘f'Ot.ll'|ded by eight shafts, all in the same materia . The two-rank organ dates from 1860 and is typical of its period, it was renovated in 1975. The Church interior was cleared and repainted by a team from the congregation in 1998.
