"Here lies buried the body of Bridgett the wife of John Rugeley, daughter and heire of Thomas Thorey who deceased the 15th day of May in ye yeare of our Lord 1658 aged 21"

At the time of her father's death Bridget was a minor, her stepfather petitioned in 1648 "that he hath faithfully served the Parliament since the late unhappy differences and is still in the Parliament's service. That he hath lately married with Jane the late widow and relict of Thomas Thory gent deceased a delinquent. That your petitioner in right of his said wife is to receive the rents and profits of the lands in the particulars annexed mentioned as guardian to Bridget sole daughter and heire to the said Thomas Thorie during her minoritie.

be admitted to a moderate composition for the rents and profits of the said estate during the minoritie of the said Bridget."

 

Bridget later married John Rugeley of Halton Holegate, presumably a relative of George but died without heirs aged 21.

Depicting The Sower and The Good Shepherd, 1880.

Glass by Powell & Sons.

There was a church on the site at the time of the Domesday Book, but the present church dates from the fourteenth century onwards. The aisles were rebuilt in 1846, and the tower and east end rebuilt in 1866, with the chancel being restored in 1894.

 

The church is built in greenstone and limestone with lead and tiled roofs.

There is a western tower, nave with clerestory, aisles, chancel, vestry, and south porch. There are eight three light clerestory windows.

 

The tower is of three stages from the early fifteenth century, although rebuilt later with embattled parapet and corner pinnacles. There are six bells plus a Sanctus bell, the earliest bell dates from 1717.

 

The nave has early fifteenth century four-bay arcades with octagonal piers.

The chancel arch matches the arcades.

 

The nave roof was replaced in 1846 reusing some earlier work. It has tie beams, arched braces and queen posts. There are carved Angels against the main beams, and also wooden bosses.

The chancel and an existing chantry chapel were destroyed by fire at sometime in the past. The chancel has a painted ceiling.

The chantry chapel, which is now the vestry and organ chamber were rebuilt in 1894.

 

The south aisle has an effigy of a cross-legged Knight which was found beneath the floor of the church during restoration.

 

There are several pew poppy heads, some from the nineteenth century, but many of the other ones are from the fifteenth century with a variety of designs.

 

There is a fourteenth century font base with recut plain bowl.

 

Near the north door there is a stone bowl which could have been a stoup, which was found buried in the rectory garden. It has been supposed, because of its design that it may have been a capital on top of one of the piers, possibly from an earlier church.

Unfortunately an extension was built on in the past, blocking the Stained glass window.
