Originally a Norman church (west door) with a wide tall chancel added in 1338 when a college here was founded by John Giffard, Canon of York.
It seems to have been the largest private collegiate foundation in England at that time, boasting a provost and 12 chaplains. The singing in the chancel must have been wonderful. Note the three howling animals - are they lions or bears? - above the splendid gothic porch. Less wonderful is the restoration by G.E. Street of 1877 which accounts for the stripped stonework.
Parking in lane at front of Church.
People living by church were very amenable when I spoke to them.
Beware livestock may be in nearby fields.
