The origins of this church are hazy, but there is evidence of a building on the site which dates to before the Norman conquest of 1066.
The church fell into a state of dilapidation, but was described as having been built over different periods of time, the earliest part being the tower which was thought to be 11th century. The nave, aisles and chancel were built some two or three centuries later.
In the mid 19th century, renovations were carried out, during which it was discovered that under old plaster there were traces of rich patterns of stars and stripes. The church was re-opened in December 1859 in time for Christmas.
