[4] Restoration of the nave and south aisle by Messrs Westlake and Cann were completed by August 1867 such that the church could be reopened[5] but further work was still ongoing.

In 1870, one of the choristers, George Perry, aged 12, an inmate of the workhouse, was detected stealing half a crown (equivalent to £15.11 in 2023)[6] from the offertory whilst “bearing the bag” in the church.

[7] The church is in a joint benefice with: The organ dated from around 1793 and was built by William Allen of London.

[9] The church is noted for the four medieval wheel-headed crosses and an inscribed stone from the 10th century which reads AELSELD 7 GENERED WOHTE YSNE SYBSTEL FOR AELWYNEYS SOUL 7 FOR HEYSEL.

This has been translated as Aelsel and Genere made this family stone or place of peace for Aelwine's soul and for themselves or Heysel.
