It is the sixteenth century and was rebuilt in the late seventeenth century which followed improvements over the next century.

The church was rebuilt in the late seventeenth century, with the probable date of the original construction in 1573, since that is the date that is in the toilet tank of the vestry, the only vestige of the early Church together with the baptismal font.
