   Church. C11 core with later medieval additions. Rebuilt and
   enlarged 1847-8 by AD Gough and RL Roumieu who extended the
   nave westwards. They destroyed the south porch and west tower,
   replacing them with a new vestry on the north and the south
   tower. Further restoration in 1871 and 1888 by AW Blomfield
   who remodelled in 'Norman' style. Further restored c1925 and
   in 1979-80 by Erith and Terry. Coarsed rubble with stone
   dressings and flint east facade; pantiled and slated roofs.
   Rectangular, aisleless plan.
   EXTERIOR: nave with 5 windows plus 3 window C19 extension. 3
   window chancel. Western porch with moulding carved in C19
   Romanesque style, flanked by round-arched lancets with
   hoodmoulds with labelstops forming strings at the angles and
   continuing around the nave over similar windows. Continuous
   sill string. Traceried oculus above the porch. North and south
   elevations of extension with Lombard frieze at eaves level.
   Chancel with some remains of Romanesque work in north and
   south doorways and in part of a C13 lancet window;
   square-headed east window of 4 segmental-arched lights, in
   slightly projecting gabled bay. South tower in 3 stages:
   setback buttresses flanking a round-arched lancet;
   round-arched recess with clock above 2 arches to blind
   arcading; half-timbered belfry with louvred panels and tiled
   roof with projecting eaves.

   monuments and a C6 altar-stone.
   HISTORICAL NOTE: by origin one of the very oldest churches in
   London, though much rebuilt, after the building in 1822 of St
   Pancras (New) Church, Upper Woburn Place (qv), the old church
   became a chapel of ease but in 1863 was reinstated as a parish
   church.
