[1][2] The church became derelict as a result of flood damage caused by the River Chew in 1968.

The west doorway with a two-centred arch, dates back to the 15th century, and the font which has quatrefoils and roses, is of similar age.

[8] During the 1980s an attempt was made to turn it into an arts centre but this was abandoned when the extent of the repairs required to make the building safe became clear.

In 2007 the church was put on the market for redevelopment,[9] and in 2008 purchased for repair and use as a private dwelling.

[10] The conversion[11] was recorded for a documentary as the first episode of the BBC television programme Restoration Home, which also explored the history of the church.
