Nothing is known of the original Norman church which occupied this site. The existing church was built between 1320 and 1360. Work was delayed because of the shortage of labour following the severe outbreak of bubonic plague in 1349, known as the Black Death. The church was Grade I listed in October 1967. Grade I, the highest category, is awarded to buildings of exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important. Only 2.5% (25 in 1000) of all listed buildings are Grade I.
