The church was essentially an abandoned ruin for many centuries but its fortunes were revived in the nineteenth century. When the nearby parish of Walton-in-Gordano received a new church in 1838, the church here was almost completely rebuilt by John Norton. His works include the local mansion of Tyntesfield House and completed the tower in Somerset Perpendicular style.
