The flint round tower of the church partly fell in the late 18th century and was repaired with brick, creating a D shaped tower.The top stage was added in the 19th century and heightened at the end of the 19th century.The long chancel was built in the late 13th century. The church is mostly in Decorated and Perpendicular styles.

Damage to the bells probably results from 17th century iconoclasm.
