The church dates from perhaps the thirteenth century but has had a couple of major renovations since. The first was (unusually) in 1760 or thereabouts, and the second in 1862. In 1852 the rector William Barnes added a spire but that has deteriorated so badly that it had to be taken down again in 1899. A benchmark can be found at the foot of the west end here - see Image
