Harrison's description (1911):

Restored in 1885. This church has a brick tower erected in 1714 and a side chapel erected in 1847, in which are the remains of William de Warenne and his wife Gundrada, fifth daughter (?) of William the Conqueror. The leaden coffins were discovered in the making of the railway which runs through the ruins of the priory adjoining the church. In the nave of the church is a row of plain heavy Nor. pillars, and a Nor. font (restored). The chancel is modern. The rest of the church is chiefly Perp. There is a good E.E. door outside E. end of church, which belonged to the priory. There are ten fine bells.
