Although some parts of the church are 14th century,[2] the south aisle is 15th century. A rector was recorded in 1308 and the reconstruction of the church was dedicated in 1336 by Bishop John Grandisson.[1] The building also underwent extensive renovation in the 19th century.[2]
The 2 stage west tower has buttresses on each corner. The ringing stage is reached by a polygonal stair turret on the north side. The tower is surmounted by an octagonal recessed spire.[1]
The interior includes early screens and the moulded octagonal granite font is dated 1662,[1] but the rest of the furnishings, polygonal wooden pulpit and wall tablets are Victorian.[2]
