Construction of the present church commenced in 1813 and was completed in 1817, although the Church was not consecrated until 1829. The porch to the north of the Church was added in 1940 and now contains a selection of some of the Celtic Crosses found on the Isle of Man.
The present church was built on the site of an older Church which it seems likely was built on the site of a Keeill. The Old Church probably dated from the beginning of the thirteenth century and was only 60ft by 14 ft.
