A church building has existed on this site since the 12th century. The oldest part of the present building is the tower (rebuilt at the end of the 17th century) - the rest of the building (erected in the middle of the 19th century) is neo-Norman and replaced a buiding described, at the time, as "somewhat ruinous". The pricipal benefactor toward the Victorian rebuild was Josiah Spode III, who lived in the parish at Hawksyard.
