Summary
The tower of this church probably dates to around 1300 but it was heightened in the Perpendicular period. The nave and chancel were completely rebuilt in 1872 after a fire, but incorporate some of the older walling. Excavations in the graveyard at this time found evidence for an earlier church on the same site.
