Blomefield (1805-1810) writes: "This village in the time of the Saxons belonged to Agelwin, an alderman or nobleman of that race, who gave it with the church to the abbey of St. Bennet in the Holm; and it was confirmed to that convent by the charter of King Edward the Confessor", but the entry in Domesday does not mention a church here. Blomefield (ibid.) adds: "its church is dedicated to St. Peter and Paul [...] The Church fell into great decay, upon which, in 1749, a faculty was obtained by which the lead was sold off the nave, and it being new roofed, was covered with tiles; the round tower had a spire on it covered with lead, which was taken down and sold; the second bell is now in the steeple, the first, third, and fourth, being sold; the south porch is leaded and the chancel thatched". Unsusually, Blomefield mentions no recorded rector here. Thomas (1846) notes: "The debased font cover bears date 1638". The present font is noted in Pevsner & Wilson (1997) as an octagonal font of the Perpendicular period, the sides of the basin decorated with "shields in cusped quatrefoils". Of the font cover they write: "Simple, of radial scrolls; dated 1638". Noted and illustrated in Knott (2005). The octagonal stem has tracery decoration on the sides; the two step plinth is modern.
