The church dates from the 14th and 15th centuries and was much restored in the 19th. "Nave without aisles Perp, a fine impression inside, with very large three-light transomed windows - a veritable glasshouse. The height of the nave was brought down [see evidence of the former roof line on the east wall of the tower] and brick battlements put up" (Nikolaus Pevsner).

Frances Baines, died 1846 at the age of 33. Her inscription reads: She filled the office of schoolmistress in this parish for nine years, to the duties of which situation she devoted herself with diligence and assiduity beyond her strength, and in this cause having passed six months at an Infant School training Institution to qualify herself further as a teacher of the younger children more especially according to the most approved method. She suffered from the close application there required, and ultimately fell a sacrifice, to her praiseworthy exertions. In grateful recollection of benefits received, her sorrowing scholars have erected this monument. Link
