Medieval in origin, the church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. The present church dates from about 1300, and was extended to the east in the late 15th century. The church was damaged during the Civil War, and was repaired and restored in the 1650s. In 1853 the tower was struck by lightning. The church was restored in 1909 and during this process, the galleries were removed, a north transept and new vestries were added, and new seating was installed. The church was struck by lightning again in 1925, causing a fire that destroyed the organ and damaged the roof.
