The nave dates probably from the late 12th century and the fine south doorway from c.1200.

The west tower, of two storeys and an embattled parapet, was built or rebuilt in 1824 and the north transept not until 1877; at this, later, date the whole church.was fairly drastically restored by an architect called Powell.
