"A medieval parish church, dating mainly to the 14th and 15th centuries. The base of the tower is of an earlier date than the rest of the church, and the presence of ironbound conglomerate in the walls could suggest the presence of a Late Saxon church on this site. The church was restored in the late 19th century, and the west tower was restored in 1986.

There is much ironbound conglomerate in building including base of quoins, which could suggest a Saxon or Saxo-Norman building, although nothing is visible that can be clearly assigned to that period.
Traces of an earlier tower in base. Otherwise the west tower is c. 1300, nave and chancel part remodelled mid 14th century, all refenestrated and new porch added in the 15th century.

The bell tower is lit by a 2 light plate tracery window in a chamfered arch."
