The Saxon church consisted originally of three parts, the central tower (which is presumed to have been the nave), the western annexe, and a chancel about fifteen feet in length where now is the western part of the later mediaeval nave. The annexe (and possibly also the former chancel) have been ascribed to the mid-10th century, the lower part of the tower to the later 10th century, and a date either shortly before or shortly after the Norman conquest for the upper part of the tower.

Description of Archaeology and History
The Saxon church consisted originally of three parts, the central tower (which is presumed to have been the nave), the western annexe, and a chancel about fifteen feet in length where now is the western part of the later mediaeval nave. The annexe (and possibly also the former chancel) have been ascribed to the mid-10th century, the lower part of the tower to the later 10th century, and a date either shortly before or shortly after the Norman conquest for the upper part of the tower. In the 13th century a long Gothic nave was added on to the magnificent Saxon survival of the western parts. The church was sympathetically restored in 1898 by C. Hodgson Fowler, who also added the organ chamber and rebuilt the priest's vestry.

The nave is of five bays, aisled, with a series of fine late 13th century three— light windows in the south wall of the south aisle: each window is of three principal lights with trefoiled heads and above them two unencircled graceful trefkils and a pointed trefoil upside down. The east window of the south aisle is a Perpendicular replacement dating from c.1440. The south doorway, south arcade (the fifth bay at the east cut into by the rebuilding of the chancel in the 15th century) and these windows are all of the same building period. The north arcade is Decorated, but with re-used 13th century capitals Nave and aisles are broad and nobly proportioned and the clerestory, added -in the 15th century when the chancel was also added or rebuilt, is a continuous screen of stone and glass.
