The Victoria County History (Northampton, vol. 4, 1937) notes: "The tower is of late-12th-century date, but everything east of it has been rebuilt, the nave arcades dating from c. 1280–1300, and the chancel from c. 1340. [...] The font has a plain octagonal bowl, and good 17th-century flat panelled cover with knob." The two-step plinth on which the font now stands appears modern.
