Summary

The church is mostly late 13th century in date, but the chancel may be older. It contains some possible Roman tiles and was raised to bring it in line with nave and tower, probably in the 13th or 15th century. The 17th century north chapel may have been rebuilt on the site of an older one, although the 17th century building itself was demolished in the late 19th century. The church was heavily restored in 1873. Reports suggest an underground once ran from the rectory to the church tower.
