The construction of the church is thought to have taken place around 1150, and remnants of the Norman-era structure remain both within its walls and on its exterior. The chancel and the south door stand as the most ancient segments that persist, originating from the earliest times. Subsequently, the north aisle and the priest's door emerged during the final quarter of the 12th century, marking the next stages of architectural evolution.
The trio of church bells, crafted by George Dalton in the year 1786. While these bells frequently ring out, their full peal cannot be executed due to a crack within the tower. This precautionary measure is in place to prevent exacerbating the crack's condition through excessive vibrations.

With Covid-19 restrictions, church is currently shut, but normally open. Lovely carvings by its main door, and a great view of local area
