notes:-  
The church probably dates to the time of the Britons; burned, neglected, rebuilt, repaired. It was rebuilt in 1733.

story:-  
The Renwick Bat
During renovation, 1733, the builders saw a cockatrice in the foundations. All fled, except John Tallentire, who overcame the beast with a rowan twig. His reward was enfranchisement of the estate to him and his heirs.
