Harrison's description (1911):

ST. MARY. The nave was entirely rebuilt about the middle of the last century, and a N. aisle added. The massive central tower with the chancel is nearly pure Nor., built early in 12th c. by the Knights Templars and transferred to the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem. The ancient Byzantine reliquary, with representations of the Crucifixion and Angels, enamelled and gilt, may have been brought from the East by the Knights. There is a large Jacobean monument to Sir T. Caryll, and also memorial windows to the Loder and other families. Note: piscina; sedile; two aumbries; rood-loft door; 17th c. alms dishes; fine arches, moulding and corbels; W. doorway, door and hinges; 14h c. S. porch. Reg. 1609.
