The church was enlarged between 1150 - 1225 to include the present nave and chancel.

In 1520 the tower was added. In 1714 fire destroyed the roof which was rebuilt. A further fire in 1908 destroyed the chancel roof, together with part of the nave roof, the altar, communion table and many internal objects.

The following year the church was extensively restored, the vestry was added, new stained glass windows installed and a new organ built.

In 1920 the war memorial was erected.
