Appraisal
This church is of apparent architectural design and its form is enhanced by the retention of features and materials such as the lattice windows, date stone and limestone surrounds to openings. The dressed sandstone masonry of the tower and the carved ornamentation of the castellations and pinnacles are clearly the work of skilled craftsmen. The church, graveyard and crypt form an interesting group of related structures.
