First mentioned in 1185,[ a major renovation occurred in the 15th century.
Having become greatly dilapidated, the church is said to have been disused for nearly 150 years; but was restored through the munificence and exertions of Browne Willis, the antiquary, who, in 1756, promoted a subscription for that purpose.
Due to its position on a hill overlooking open country it was used during the Napoleonic Wars as a telegraph station and again as a lookout during WWII.
The whole is a good specimen of Perpendicular work, without the least mixture of any other style, or the introduction of modern windows; the latter are nearly all square-headed. Three arches on each side divide the nave from the aisles. The central cross beam of the roof bears the date of 1630. There is a piscina in the south aisle. There are three bells in the tower which are not longer able to be rung.
