Although the nave and clerestory are of 14th century date the tower was rebuilt in 1861. A visitation return in Cambridge University Library (C3/26) states that 'a new tower was built in 1861and the bells rehung at a cost of nearly £900'. A thorough restoration of the body of the church was conducted 1863-1877 costing £2,500 and the chancel was restored by the rector at a cost of £800. (4) |
