Pevsner says that "the fine west tower was under construction c.1520-9." The earliest parts of the church date from the 13th century. There are some fine tombs in the churchyard. At the north end of the churchyard, a footpath heads out of the gate ahead to cross the fields, and then the railway and the M26, before reaching Kemsing. As can be seen, there are fine views towards Kemsing and the scarp slope of the North Downs beyond.
