Consequently, much of the building stone used in the construction of the church was salvaged from the old abbey. The oldest parts of the building and grounds are the tower, which contains six bells dating from 1636 to 1773, and the north wall of the old abbey, of which only the foundations remain near the west entrance. The church was extensively restored in 1885 when some parts of the building were removed and others added.
