The Victoria County History (Huntingdone, vol. 2, 1932) notes: "The church is mentioned in the Domesday Survey (1086), and of this building the piers of a central tower and two and a half bays of the north and south arcades still remain. [...] Late in the 14th century much reconstruction took place. [...] The church was completely restored in 1880 [...] The 15th-century font is a plain octagon, with similar stem and base."
