In the 19th Century the church was a plain Norman structure with the tower being constructed from the stones of an earlier church. The main features of the early church were its unmoulded round tower and chancel arches. The nave walls were thought to have been rebuilt in the reign of King Charles II. The earliest register was recorded from 1689. [...] In 1844 with the church in a “dangerous and ruinous state” and wholly inadequate to accommodate the increasing population, permission was given to pull down, rebuild and enlarge the existing building. [...] The current building was built in 1846 in the Norman style".
