The Nave and Chancel are 13th century, the south porch was added in the 14th century and the tower, around 1500. The church was heavily restored in th 19th century. There is a commemorative memorial to Commander Dunning, a WWI pilot, inside.
The 14th century bell has the inscription "I am the Koc of this floc wit Gloria Tibi Domini" - 14th century wit and unusual in that it is partly in English.
The memorial to Squadron Commander Edwin Harris Dunning DSC., RN., gives an Admirality citation which states "The Admiralty wish you to know what great service he performed for the Navy. It was in fact a demonstration of landing an Aeroplane on the deck of a Man-of-War whilst the latter was under way. This had never been done before;and the data obtained was of the utmost value. It will make Aeroplanes indispensable to a fleet; & possibly, revolutionise Naval Warfare. The risk taken by Squadron Commander Dunning needed much courage. He had already made two successful landings;but expressed a wish to land again himself, before other Pilots did so;and in this last run he was killed. My Lords desire to place on record their sense of the loss to the Naval Service of this gallant Officer."
