An Anglo-Saxon church on this site was recorded in the Domesday Book. It was almost certainly made of wood and was later rebuilt in stone. On the night of 7 February 1841, the church was almost completely destroyed by fire. The present building was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, and was consecrated on 21st November 1844.
This image shows the porch and doorway which were rescued after the fire.
