On a slight rise which has been augmented by accumulation of graves, in undulating terrain. The church was located roughly in the centre of a square-shaped graveyard (TS076-043001-). It is mentioned in the Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 301) as 'the Church fenced with a ditch' but no visible trace survives above ground though its location is evidenced by a lack of headstones. According to the OS Letters the 'old Church of this Parish was demolished about twenty years ago [c. 1820], and the present Parish Church stands on its site, the whole of which is not occupied by it, the latter building being somewhat narrower than the old structure' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 138). Lewis (1837, 428) gives the precise date of 1821 for when the church, 'a neat edifice', was rebuilt with the grant of a loan of £800 from the Board of First Fruits. The early 19th-century church was demolished in the 1990s, leaving no visible trace above ground.
