An old church on the site had fallen into disrepair by the 1820s.[3] The church was rebuilt in 1826–32 and the east end added in 1852 by Sir George Gilbert Scott.[1][4]

In the churchyard are monuments to James Collins,[5] Robert Langford,[6] the Parsons family,[7] two Smith monuments[8][9] and one unidentified.[10]

The rectory dates from around 1820.[11]
