[3] In the middle of the 16th century, the south porch was built with a small room above it and the chancel was extended eastwards to its present length.

Architect T. H. Wyatt was engaged, the nave roof was renewed, a new large west window and a small vestry created, the east wall of the chancel buttressed and the gallery removed.

[2] In 1968, it was found the stability of the entire building was at risk because an old culvert had broken, and water had saturated the clay into which the foundations of the church were built.

[4] The central tower, with its unusual rectangular shape, contains the third heaviest peal of eight bells hung for change ringing in the world, after Sherborne Abbey, Dorset and St Peter's Cathedral, Adelaide, Australia.

[7] John Taylor & Co of Loughborough, Leicestershire, were chosen to overhaul the bells in 1921 and it was proposed to augment them to eight by casting two new trebles, recasting two of the original six and retuning the other four.

[9] Inside the church is a bust by Sir Robert Taylor of William Phipps (c.1681–1748; born at Heywood, became Governor of Bombay).

[10] South-east of the chancel stands the parish war memorial of 1919 or 1920, a tall stone cross on a three-stage carved base and a plain plinth.
