with late 17c, 1787 (north aisle) & 19c alterations, definitely stands on a hill ! Nearby was a small castle or fortified manor house.

In 19c the poor have about 17 acres of land, yielding about £24 yearly, distributed in coals, and for the support of the school which was once in the north transept
