The original church was built on the site in 1367. At that time the ecclesiastical parishes of Henley and Beaudesert were quite separate, the people of Henley having to travel two miles to the parish church at Wootton Wawen. The church in Henley was erected in order that the parishioners would not have to make the difficult and dangerous journey to the mother church at Wootton Wawen for their worship.

No trace of the original building remains and the present church was built about 1443 in the Perpendicular style. It housed the Chapel of the Guild of St. John which was situated in the north aisle but further to the east than the present Memorial Chapel. The outside of the Church is essentially as it was in the 15th Century but the interior is very much changed.
