The present church was erected in 1841 to accommodate the growing population of the parish. It is a Grade II listed building in sandstone, with some interesting stained glass commemorating the Roman history of the area. There has been a succession of churches on this site for at least 1,000 years, but there is archaeological evidence of Christian worship dating back to the early years of the Roman occupation.
