By the early 11th century, there was a cruciform church on this site, comprising central tower, nave and small apse.

The tower was raised in height upon the rebuilding of the church, but still utilising the earlier base.

Part of the roof was replaced in the early 17th century, and new pinnacles added to the tower in 1626, though these have since been removed.

[2] The church underwent a major restoration starting in 1888 by C. E. Ponting, which included plastering the walls, raising the level of the roof, extending the south aisle and replacing the 13th-century chancel arch.

[2] The tower interior features two large pre-conquest arches, one filled with an 11th-century door on the west side as the principal entrance to the church, and a larger 19 feet (5.8 metres) high round arch on the east side, which joins the tower and nave.

[2] The nave is 13th century, and built in a simple Early English style, with lancet windows and a small clerestory.
