The church has its origins in the early 14th century, the Decorated style of that period being well shown by the western tower, its bell-openings are typical of the style. Despite later work the style is also repeated in the southern doorway to the nave and also in the chancel so there is no doubt that originally the church was a single campaign build of the first half of the 14th century. Sporadic work in centuries between that build & the inevitable Victorian changes can be seen, a few windows show Tudor styling of the 16th century, notably 2 windows of a 4-light construction on the southern face. The Victorian work dates from 1873 when not only was the church thoroughly restored but the northern aisle and vestry were added to the fabric, the eastern window of the chancel was also a product of this campaign.
