Rebuilt 1851 but the brick tower must be older. Most interesting feature is the Norman tympanum inserted in the S wall of the tower. (1)
Nave rebuilt 1812-13, N aisle 1837 and the chancel in 1851, when the rest was modernized. The brick tower is C17 - lowest stage C13, stone. Built into the S wall of the tower [is] a Norman tympanum, very elaborate, of the early C12. (2)
Dendrochronological analysis undertaken on samples taken from timbers of the bellframe at this church resulted in the construction of a single site sequence.
Site sequence NBFKSQ01 contains eight samples and spans the period AD 1592–1691. Interpretation of sapwood suggests felling of all timbers in AD 1694–1719, with construction likely to have followed shortly after.
Bellframe: The oak bellframe for four bells is of mixed trusses, some jack-braced and others not, Pickford Groups 6.A and 6.B, with orientation being a mirror image of plan Group 4.2 (Figs 3 & 4). It sits on a substantial timber floor, which in turn sits on four beams, orientated east to west, which enter the north and south walls; two are adjacent to the north and south walls and the other two are equally spaced between them. Beneath these beams are two substantial beams, orien-tated north to south, again equally spaced between the east and west walls. All timbers are pegged together through the mortise and tenon joints with two pegs. On the top sill of the outer south truss (truss B) is incised ‘18 MH 15’. As the frame was thought to date from circa AD 1800, it was thought likely that this represented the date of the frame and the initials of either the maker or a churchwarden.
The bells: Inscribed: 1. GOD SAVE HIS CHVRCH R DVBELDAY I BAGVLAY WARDENS 1698; 2. Blank; 3. J : TAY-LOR & C.. FOUNDERS LOUGHBOROUGH 1873. The tenor was added to the ring in AD 1873 and was not a recast of an older bell. The treble is the work of William Noone of Not-tingham, whilst the second un-inscribed bell could be dated to the mid-eighteenth century on stylistic grounds, though it is completely different to the treble. The AD 1764 Terrier mentions 2 bells. (4)
