It was built in the 12th century, but largely rebuilt in the 1880s, and has been designated as a Grade II* listed building.

It was originally built in the 12th century but was virtually rebuilt by Henry Woodyer 1887–90 for Henry Martin Gibbs son of William Gibbs of Tyntesfield.

It has a three-stage west tower surmounted by pinnacles and a spirelet.

In 2013 an appeal was made for funds to help make repairs to the church including redecoration and servicing of the organ,[2] which was largely unchanged since its construction by Vowles of Bristol around 1890.
