Description
".....A new ‘English Chapel’ was built before 1725 within the graveyard of the present church, and probably just south of the existing church. In 1824, on the advice of a Greenwich Hospital agent, an entirely new church was built at a cost of £1,040 together with a ‘handsome rectory-house,’ for a further £1,000 in which the first Rector took up residence....on the night of Sunday 26th November 1882 in consequence of overheating of the flue of the warming apparatus, the floor ignited. Fortunately the fire was discovered, not, however until it had scorched the ceiling, but by the prompt action of the villager....there was another fire in 1890, and this one also damaged the church. It was rebuilt by 1892....." -
