Although mentioned in the Domesday Book, nothing of the original church remains. Parts of the present building probably date from the 15th century. The church was in such a bad state in the 18th century that the two bells were sold to pay for the repairs. The work on the new church was mostly effected between 1904 and 1914 when a new chancel was built on the site of the old one.
As the church looked in 1900
"The medieval period has left the parish with its oldest surviving building, All Saints’ Church. This is a Norman, 14th and 15th century church, almost completely rebuilt between 1899 and 1914 after standing in ruins for a hundred years. Every remnant still in situ or discovered in the churchyard appears to have been re-used with imagination and affection. The building consists of a nave with a western extension, south porch and chancel, with a 20th century vestry to the north. The oldest original feature is a Norman slit window on the north side. Inside is a massive plain 14th century octagonal font, a nice Jacobean pulpit with a tester which originally came from Sprowston near Norwich, and the arms of Queen Victoria."
