The lower half of the square tower that remains today, was constructed in the 12th century, and of rubble walling.

Unfortunately, the shield of the knight is too worn for the identification of any coat of arms that could verify the historical accuracy of this belief.

There were also several additions in the 15th century, including the present lead roofing, the southern porch, the south chapel, and the western part of the nave.

Although the lower half of the tower was constructed in the 12th century, the upper half, which is made of a noticeably different stone and is surrounded on all sides by crenellations with a small upright spire in each corner, was also constructed in the 15th century and contains six bells, three of them not installed until 1892.

In 2008, police found three youths on the church roof, wearing masks, balaclavas and gloves, when over £100,000 worth of lead had already been stolen previously in 10 separate raids, but they were released without charge because they "might be there just for the view".
