This 13th-century church has seen many restorations and adaptations in its time. However, none were as controversial as the one that took place in 1876, when its new north aisle was enlarged, somewhat out of proportion with the rest of the building. This led to historians Jennifer Sherwood and Sir Nikolaus Pevsner to proclaim a 'lunatic' restoration. Architectural lunacy or no, the church is grade II-listed.
