More about this scene
The basic fabric of the church can be no later than the end of the Early English period, around 1300. The elegant five-bay north and south arcades are witness to this date. One of two 14th-century tomb recesses with ball-flower decoration can be seen between columns to the left. The excellent west tower was built in 1649. The chancel was rebuilt in 1858 by the architects Millican & Smith, who also carried out unremarkable works at Arnesby, Bagworth and Markfield, among others.
