A rather plain church but with a long history dating back to before the Conquest. The tower is Norman as far as it is circular and the upper octagonal belfry was added in the early 14th century. The parapet was restored in red brick in the 18th century. The oldest part of the church is the nave entered by the south porch. The nave and chancel have panelled wagon roofs. The font is early 15th century with shields carrying the Brewes family arms and is in excellent condition, having been protected by plaster during the Commonwealth period. In the base of the tower, a Norman pillar piscina is stored: this was discovered in the rockery in the rectory garden. Some small fragments of 15th century glass remain in various windows.
