Summary
The oldest parts of the church are Late Norman, dating to the 12th century. In the 13th century the church was extended in Early English style and the windows were all replaced in the 15th century in Perpendicular style. The tower fell in 1778 and was replaced by a bellcote which was demolished in 1977. The church was completely restored in 1883 by the architect Phipson, explaining the new look of the building.

West gallery inserted into church. Two holes dug into nave for supports. Fill of loose earth contained post medieval pammets, brick fragmetns etc. This may be due to removed vaults and indeed tomb slabs in nave floor seem to have no graves beneath.
