The Church was built in 1397 on the site of a former church which there is reason to believe dated from Saxon times. It is in the Early English style and consists of nave with one aisle, chancel, and a lofty square embattled tower. The belfry contains two bells. In 1862 the old lead roof was removed and a lighter one of slate replaced it. The church was also re-seated at the same time. The total cost of the restoration being about £800. Further repairs and alterations were made in 1884. Several of the windows are stained glass memorials.
There is an interesting inscription just to the left of the south porch which records that the church was built in 1397. The clock on the tower was erected in 1921 as a memorial to those of the parish who gave their lives in the First World War.
