The church was built largely in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, with some parts dating back as early as the twelfth. However, the fire caused by the Blitz generated such a temperature that the stone and plasterwork changed colour. There is a pinkish tinge to the parts exposed to the flames, as well as structural changes that are making them weaker.
