The church is of 14th century date - the earliest part, the nave, dating to between 1325 and 1350. The Grocer's Company of London purchased the patronage of the living in the 1660s and one of their first acts, in 1662-4, was to restore the chancel, installing a three light east window.
Clayton & Bell installed stained glass in the windows in the west end of the church in the 1870s and the east window was installed in 1885, the glass installed by the Grocers' Company in 1664 being removed to the south aisle. Later work in the church included installing the Harvey memorial window in 1897 and in the same year, installing the Leatham memorial window.
