[1][4] Built in the thirteenth century by a man named Adulphus to replace a Saxon church, it was enlarged in the 14th century by Sir Thomas Aldon, one of Edward III of England's courtiers.

[2] In the late 1990s and early 2000s, it was extensively renovated, including the cleansing and restoration of the windows in 2009.

[1] The church continues to be an active centre for worship, and is part of the United Wye Benefice.

The nave, aisles, transepts and crossing were all built together, between approximately 1329 and 1361 (based on heraldic evidence).

Both the chancel and the chapel are at a lower level than the transepts and crossing, with steps leading down to the east.

[1][6] The west door is made of 18th-century plank in a 14th-century roll-moulded surround between two large offset buttresses.

The arcade to the chancel has three round piers, various moulded and undercut capitals and 'water-holding' bases.

[2][5] The famous countertenor Alfred Deller, CBE (1912–1979) and his wife Peggy (1913–2006) are buried in the newer section of the churchyard.
