For this area of Essex the church is of an unusual design whereby the dimensions of the chancel is the same as the nave with no real division and, because of that, it has a total of nine bays. It mainly dates from the 14th century and probably replaces an earlier Norman structure as the font is c.1200. It is a well cared for church and stands a good distance north of the original village that lies by the river Crouch.
