The present church, built on the site of an earlier C6th church, dates from 1112 with alterations in C13th, 1512 and 1727 and with restorations in 1880 by C J Ferguson and in 1932 by J F Martindale. The north and south aisle arcades, assumed to be C13th are carried on shafts of completely different character. The shafts carrying the south aisle arcade appear to be consistent with the style of the arcade while those carrying the North arcade do not fit the arcade they are carrying and appear to have been re-used, either from an earlier phase of building or imported from an earlier structure elsewhere. There is ample evidence of the Norman origins with elements of shafts and arcading exposed in the south wall of the chancel, chevron patterned voussoirs re-used in the tower and a beak head motif Norman arch re-used in the later porch but without a protective hood moulding. The Mediaeval tower base was heightened in 1727 with bow topped louvred openings and castellated parapet. The Nave roof has been raised and the clerestory windows date from the 1932 restorations. The walls of the church are of grey/buff carboniferous limestone juxtaposed with red sandstone. The pattern of use of stone is not consistent and differs according to the period of building.
