Parts of the building date from 1298. The west tower and spire were added around 1400. The church has a 15th-century eagle lectern and pulpit from 1634. In the 19th century the building was restored with a chancel by William Butterfield. The heating system includes spiral heating pipe coils. On 9 February 1961 the church was designated a Grade I listed building. The dangerous state of the spire required £200,000 to be raised for repairs.
