The church building dates back to Saxon times. The North wall of the present Church was Saxon and restored in Norman times. This restoration took place in or about the year of the Domesday book, 1086 AD, when the nave and chancel were built by Peter de Valoignes, Norman Sheriff of Hertford Castle. Traces of Norman windows can be seen high in the north nave wall, and Early English Clerestory windows above the pillars on the south aisle. A little round window of this period can also be seen above these pillars on the south side.
Extensive restoration work was done in the Church in 1864 and more notably so in 1903, by Lord Cowper. The chancel stained glass window probably dates from this period. The stained glass windows on the South aisle date from 1963.
