It is probable the first church here was built by the Normans, non of this church remains although parts of the present church stand on its foundations. The church we see today dates mainly from the fourteenth century, this includes chancel, transept and base of the tower. The north ailse with 26 winged angels supporting the roof timbers, upper stages of the tower and porch are from the fifteenth century. there is a peel of six bells , the earliest was cast in 1772 by the Rudhall's Foundry.
