Appraisal
Though now derelict, this church building retains some attractive features and materials including the tower with corner pinnacles. Recessed from the road behind attractive ornate gates and railings, this church and its curtilage of graveyard, ruined Friary and adjacent castle, form an interesting group set on an elevated site.
