First mentioned in 1173, it was originally a small church with apsed chancel. The tower was added in the early 14th century, the Lady Chapel in the late 14th century, the chancel was rebuilt in the 15th century and the nave in the 16th century. The body of the church was restored in 1878, and then altered and with the tower reconstructed in 1907, but since that date there has been little change apart from the recent removal of the pews.


Lady Chapel was converted to Stradling Chapel in late 16th century, and contains three painted family portrait memorials (now photographic copies) of about 1590, commissioned by Sir Edward Stradling in commemoration of three different generations of the Stradling family. The chapel also contains a tomb and sculptured memorials including ones to Sir Edward Stradling (died 1609) and to Sir Thomas Stradling, the last of the direct line, who died in 1738.
