Much of the church belongs to the 13th to the 15th centuries although it was much "altered and improved" by Giles Gilbert Scott. Bruce Stevenson in his book 'Middlesex' describes Hayes as "on the whole, a spoilt village, in spite of a few good old houses." but "there is still some semblance of green in its centre round Church Walk". The church is approached by a 16th century lych gate and the tower, like the north aisle, dates from the 15th century while the south aisle and south porch date from the 16th century.
