History

The mid-19th century saw extensive restoration work carried out on the church. In 1864 the wooden tower and dormer window were both swept away. The restoration was completed in 1874. Despite this restoration work, the church still retains many of its original features including a Norman arch over the south doorway and a Jacobean pulpit.{{cite web|url=http://www.northwoodvillage.org.uk/church/default.aspx|title=Northwood Parish Church|publisher=Northwood Village|accessdate=2009-08-23|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090218232901/http://northwoodvillage.org.uk/church/default.aspx|archivedate=2009-02-18}}
