Summary

Parish church first constructed during the first half of the 8th century and may have been part of a monastery or minster. The church was destroyed by fire in 1246. The South wall and part of West wall of nave, along with a small section of the South wall of the chancel are visibly Saxon and the shell of the nave and probably the whole of the chancel are of this date. Most of the rest of the building dates from the mid 13th century with late 15th century additions. Additions were also carried out in 1512. The tower was demolished in 1836. The building is of flint and rubble with a tile roof. Five bay nave, two bay chancel, North aisle, the east end of the aisle and North-East chapel refurbished as vestries and church room following a late 1970s fire; North-East vestry roofed at right angles to the chapel; South-East chapel; North porch. North tower demolished in 1836.
