"The church of ST. MARY AND ALL SAINTS, first recorded by that name in 1763 but in the late 15th and early 16th century called St. Matthew's and in the early 18th All Saints', comprises a chancel with north vestry, an aisled and clerestoried nave, and a south porch, mostly built in coarse rubble, and a west tower with a distinctive spire. It stands in part on the foundations of a 12th-century church.

Much work was undertaken in the early 14th century, all of it presumably completed before the ordinations which the bishop held in the church between 1341 and 1343. The main addition was the west tower, of limestone ashlar with a richly moulded west window and crowned by a broach spire linked to four corner pinnacles by small flying buttresses."
