The oldest parts of the church date from about 1330 and was largely rebuilt under the supervision of Revd JC Keate and George Gilbert Scott in 1868. The original massive beams in the half-timbered construction survive in the West Wall along with the internal roof structure. At that time the Bell Tower was moved from the West to the North side of the church.

The windows showing traces of the 14th and 15th-century design, date from 1868. The chancel, which was rebuilt in memory of Dr. Keate, has at the north-west an arched opening to the tower, while on the south are a modern credence, aumbry, and tomb recess of 14th-century design. There is no chancel arch, but chancel and nave are separated by a fine modern screen with open traceried panels surmounted by a large cross, with medallions at the ends of the arms carved with the symbols of the four evangelists. The figure of Christ on the cross was added in 1923 as the village’s war memorial. For further history see Description & History of St Mary's
