Depicted on 1842 OS 6-inch map as rectangular structure (c. 15m ENE-WSW) E-of-centre in graveyard; marked 'site of' on 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Church here mentioned in Papal Taxation of 1302-6 (Hurley 1980, 61). According to OS Field Books of 1841 the walls of the early church were then standing, with 'a small square window (2ft x 1ft 6in)' (Bowman 1934, 394).
