This Church of England place of worship is in the Diocese of York and it's believed there was a church of St. Nicholas dating back to at least the 12th century.

The original church fell into disrepair and was demolished between 1653-55 in part as a consequence of the Civil War.

The present church was consecrated on the the 3rd August 1880. This was in memorial to the family of Lord Wolverton for an initial £6,000.

The graveyard surrounds the church and contains 7 World War I war graves maintained by The Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

An example of an inscription on one of the headstones is as follows.
