Butler (1953) notes: "The Parish Church was probably built in the late part of the XII century, possibly on the site of the church hinted at in Domesday, the earlier building most likely of wattle and daub. The present church has traces of Norman work in the north and east walls […] The font is modern and stands under the tower, by the west door; prior to this an older font stood by the pillar opposite the old south porch, the old drain hole being still visible in the flag stone."
