The original 12th century church was a simple rectangular structure with no tower. During the next 4 centuries the church was enlarged with the addition of the chancel and sanctuary, the north and south aisles and the tower which has 4 bells. Restoration in 1868 by Thomas Nicholson included a "gothic" chancel arch which sadly involved the removal of the upper three quarters of the rood screen and the blocking of its staircase.
