The substance of the current church building dates from extensive construction work in the mid 1840s, by the then rector, Rev Dr Thomas Rowley. It replaces a previous church, mainly timber-framed, that was standing on the same site in 1791. Prior to that, the records are unclear as to the size, construction or even the precise location of earlier churches, and it's quite possible that one was located on the other side of the road, near a pair of ancient yew trees known as The Twins.
