Nobody knows the exact date of the first church, but the Domesday Book mentions that there was a priest here in 1086. The style of the present building suggests that the oldest part dates from about 1180 to 1200 A.D. and the lancet window in the chancel is a typical of the late 12th century.  It is by far the oldest and most historic building in the parish. 

​

We know that the area was settled long before the

first church, for example there are some Roman bricks and tiles incorporated in building.

​

Recently whilst a dowsing expert was trying to locate an underground water leak the expert was confused as he registered a series of readings in a circular pattern that led under the porch of the church, perhaps indicative of a series of wooden post holes from an earlier structure.

The Church is listed as being of Grade 1 architectural importance.
