History
The medieval church was destroyed by fire and a new church was erected in 1907 by the Duke of Portland to a design by the architect Louis Ambler.[1][2] The church has one of the most beautiful interiors with a fine reredos and chancel screen.[3]
The church of St Wilfrid stands on a site believed to have been first used for a church in the seventh century AD and an ancient church is mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086.[4]
