A hand-coloured print of the church was published in 1812 by Thomas Fisher. The church is worth visiting for its architectural quality and historical interest. It has been officially recognised since 1964. The Gothic style and the surviving monuments reflect centuries of use. The 1812 aquatint provides a rare early view of the exterior.
