Harrison's description (1911):

ST. JAMES. This church was probably originally Nor., but has been much altered in subsequent times. The S. porch is Tr.-Nor.; the rest of the building was reconstructed about the end of the 13th c., when E.E. was passing to Dec. Note: string course in the chancel, the Nor. billet moulding changing to Dec. roll; two trefoil-headed low-side windows set in wide arched recesses; on N. chancel wall a canopied Easter Sepulchre. Font, square Nor.; stoup in nave. The upper part of tower was removed and pyramidal cap added in 1618.
