There was certainly a church here in Saxon times and the current church has a Norman crypt, but the present building was constructed in the 13th and early 14th centuries and is the finest local example of the Early English style. The Chancel was complete by 1241 and the Nave and transepts were added in the later part of the century, with the tower added in the early 14th century. Various other small additions were made over the ages and the church was restored by Gilbert Scott in 1837-40.
Notable features are the fine East window of the Chancel and the slight curve of the Nave (probably not an intended feature), a small 13th century window in the North Transept, and the Boothby Chapel, also in the North Transept, which houses the finest local collection of tombs and alabaster or marble monuments.
