17th Century: A pulpit from 1635 is a notable feature. 19th Century Restorations: The chancel arch was rebuilt and the nave extended to the west in 1885. A wooden belfry was also added in 1885. A more extensive restoration took place in 1896, costing £900. Building Materials: The church incorporates various local Dorset building stones, including Shaftesbury Sandstone, Corallian limestone from Marnhull, and Forest Marble.

History and Development: Foundation: The church was founded in the 13th century, with the first recorded Rector in 1297. Early Construction: The north wall of the nave, likely from the late 12th or early 13th century, is the oldest surviving part. It was originally an aisleless, two-compartment building. 13th Century Expansion: Around the mid-13th century, the chancel was rebuilt on a larger scale. A project to build a larger nave was started, with the south wall being built, but it was not completed to match the chancel's axis. 15th Century Additions: In the 15th century, new windows were added to the old north wall, and the nave was re-roofed.
