The tower was originally built in the 14th century and has structural strengthening ironware showing here, as well as a gargoyle. In 1840 nearly all the then existing medieval church was demolished. The tower with its recessed stone spire was retained. The 1840 rebuild was itself taken down, and the present fine structure replaced it in 1867 - again retaining the 14th century tower and spire.
