History
The Romanesque church was built c.1160 by the St Remy family, probably financed with funds from the de Clintons of Kenilworth Castle.[3] The Early Gothic east end was extended in c.1230, when a cell was constructed on the south side for the anchoress Annora.[4][5]
The building has not been changed much over the centuries, retaining its round-arched windows and doorways.[6][7] It is Grade I listed.[8] The church includes a stained glass window by the 20th-century artist John Piper and another by Roger Wagner.
