[2] The church was built in 1627 as a combined chapel and school by Thomas Moulson, a former native of the village.

As the state of the church had become neglected, a considerable restoration was carried out between 1878 and 1890, the first Duke of Westminster contributing £200 of the total cost of £600.

Its plan consists of a five-bay nave and chancel in one range, a vestry and a south porch.

The porch has Jacobean stone ornaments and a 1774 panel containing the coat of arms of the Moulson family and an inscription relating to the founding by Thomas.

[4] The hammerbeam roof of 1774 survived the restoration, but all the old fittings and furniture were disposed of, except for the octagonal font.
