Parts of the church date back to the thirteenth century; however it was subject to heavy restorations by George Gilbert Scott and John Oldrid Scott in the nineteenth century.
He married Mary Ann Stevens in 1868, eldest daughter of the Reverend Thomas Stevens, the founder of Bradfield College.
Extensive work was carried out in 1890-91 to the design of John Oldrid Scott when the chancel was restored and refurbished.
The current building was consecrated in 1901, after being built by the architect John Oldrid Scott.
