It was built in the 12th century and designated a Grade II* listed building.

[1] The church pre-dates the former Carthusian Hinton Priory in the village from 1232.

[2] The priory was founded in 1232 by Ela, Countess of Salisbury,[3] and the prior had the right to tithes from the village following a dispute[4] and to appoint the vicar of the church until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539.

[5] During the 13th century, the south chapel and porch were added to the original 12th-century building.

The parish is part of the benefice of Freshford, Limpley Stoke, and Hinton Charterhouse within the archdeaconry of Bath.
