A Journey Through Time: The Church's History
Imagine a church standing here even before this one! Records from a very old book called the Domesday survey in 1086 show there was a church on this spot. The church you see today was first built in the late 1100s.
Over the years, the church was updated and changed a lot. This happened especially in the late 1300s and 1400s. Later, in the 1800s, the part of the church called the chancel (where the main altar is) was rebuilt. This shows how churches often grow and change over many centuries.
