Early 13th century | The spire was added to the tower in the 1830s, and the church was restored in 1860 by George Gilbert Scott, who also added the north aisle, and by William Butterfield in 1872, who added the south aisle and the clerestory. The church is built in stone, the roof of the south aisle is in copper, and the rest of the roofs are tiled. The church consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel, a northeast vestry, and a west steeple.
