The church is of Saxon origin and is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.
The old flint walls of the chancel were repaired in 1611 and the nave and the tower rebuilt in brick (the present Lady Chapel).
A new nave, chancel and vestries were added in 1875.
In 2004 the building was further extended by developing the Victorian vestries.
The 2004 extension doesn’t look to out of place.
It has a lovely set of very ancient yew trees around the church, they were cut back a few years ago but look fantastic again now.
As ever, I have edited some of the above from the official church website, link below, thanks.
