The walls are of flint and pebble rubble, except those of the north chapel and the south wall of the chancel, which are probably of brick; the dressings are of clunch and brick; the roofs are covered with tiles. The chancel and nave were built about 1435 with a timber bell-cot at the west end of the nave. The bell-cot was removed and the west tower added about 1500; the north chapel was added, and the chancel widened on the south side, about 1560. The north chapel was extended about two feet towards the west, and the westernmost bay converted into a private pew, about 1733. The church was restored in the 19th century; the north vestry and south porch are modern. The 15th century brass of Thomas Rolf, and the 15th and 16th century alter tombs are noteworthy. <3> Church of St Catherine. Parish Church. 15th to 16th century nave and chancel.
