It is possible that a church was present on this spot in the 12thc. This is evidenced by the thick N wall of the nave and the use of reset 12thc fragments (VCH XVI, 104-6). The present 13thc and 14thc structure is built of flint and ashlar and consists of a chancel, a nave, S aisle and W tower. The tower of c1300 is decorated with Norman spolia: a square billet above the openings of the belfry, and possibly fragments of stringcourse serving as corbels above.

No church is mentioned in Domesday Book, which lists the manor as a possession of Miles Crispin, held of him by Reginald. It had 12 ploughs of land, and 2 mills rendering 40s. In early 13thc Richard Foliot granted the estate to St. Frideswide's priory, Oxford (VCH XVI, 95-96).

The church was restored in 1845.
