There has been a church here since Saxon times, when it was dedicated to St Lioba. Since then it has had many reconstructions and the only original stonework is in the lower part of the tower.

During building work in 1834 a hoard of about a hundred old coins were found; they were coins of Edward the Confessor, William the Conqueror and William Rufus. On the south side and with the internal arch to the tower, Norman work remains.

The Chancel screen is very fine and beyond it, through the arch, are examples of intricately carved wooden figures and ancient carved stone effigies. There is much to study in the stained glass of the windows before leaving this pleasant place by walking beneath the rose pergola back to the churchyard gate.
