History
The church was built on the site of an earlier church, dating from possibly the 12th century. This church was badly damaged by a storm in 1843.
It was constructed between 1849 and 1850 and the architect was Henry Isaac Stevens. The church was consecrated on 4 November 1850 by the Right Revd. Dr. Kaye, Bishop of Lincoln.[4] The chancel was added in 1900 by William Arthur Heazell. The north chapel was added in 1946.

Pipe Organ
A new organ was opened in 1852 by George Cooper, the assistant organist of St Paul's Cathedral.[5] The current pipe organ dates from 1872 by Forster and Andrews. In 1899 a new organ chamber was built to house the organ and move it from its location in the north transept.[6] A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[7]
