The chancel and nave were built around 1300. The two stage west tower, with its battlemented parapet, was added around 1400.

The interior includes a 13th-century sedilia and a Jacobean pulpit. The other features including the box pews, tower screen and curved communion rails are late Georgian.

The church was used for filming of the 2014 British horror film 'The Borderlands'.
