How long there has been a church on the present site is unknown, but there was certainly one in existence by the 10th century. It was probably built of wood. There is a reasonable possibility that the church was rebuilt in stone early in the 11th century. The oldest part of the present church, which is dedicated to All Saints, is the long and spacious chancel which was probably built in the 13th century, flanked by a large chapel on the south side dating from about 1320.
