Originally a late Saxon/early Norman building, the church was almost entirely rebuilt in 1873-4 by GE Pritchett. The church virtually doubled in size during the restoration, and all that remains externally of the earlier church is a Norman window on the south side, and the fifteenth century tower. The octagonal spire added by Pritchett was a copy of an earlier spire which had been destroyed by lightning in 1738. Internally there is a very unusual late Saxon/early Norman chancel arch built entirely of Roman bricks. Prior to the restoration in 1874 there was a Rood Loft across the chancel arch, containing a Rood Altar. On the right of the chancel arch, high up in the wall, there remains a Piscina. This is a rare feature. But the church is locked and they cannot be seen except at services.
