The earliest stone church on the site was probably erected towards the end of the 12th century and was cruciform in shape. The lower parts of both the north transept (the Lady Chapel) and chancel walls are Norman masonry the stepped work at the base being quite distinct. The font is also from this period. In 1259 the church was re-dedicated by Bishop Bronescombe.
