Stonework

The church was built using stonework recycled from St Peter in the Rushes and an old chapel in the village. Since the old church was larger than the new one, it would be reasonable to conclude that there was sufficient stonework available for building the new church from St Peter and the old chapel.

Lias, a fine grained grey limestone from the Lower Jurassic geological period, forms the main block-work of the new church. The quoins used for the cornerstones of the building are sandstone possibly from Kingsmill, Castle Donnington. These stones have been neatly dressed.
