The church began life, like several in the surrounding area, as a dependent chapel of Leighton Buzzard. The earliest records indicate that there was a chapel on the site in C13 with it eventually becoming a parish in its own right in 1735.
The chancel, nave and aisles all date from C13 with the tower being added in C15 with the roofline altered to add a clerestory along with some remodelling of the aisles. Major restoration work took place in the late C19 with the aisles and east end being rebuilt. The original building was done in Bedfordshire ironstone but the aisles and chancel were rebuilt using Totternhoe limestone.
