The present building is a Grade II* Listed structure of 1859 designed by Robert Kerr which Pevsner notes was preceded by a medieval church with a round tower and double-splayed windows. The basin of the pillar piscina in the chancel is the only Romanesque sculpture at the site.

Domesday Book records one church in Framingham, in Henstead hundred (9: 30). As tenant-in-chief at the time of the Domesday survey, Roger Bigod held the sixty acres in Framingham that had been held by Godric under Stigand before 1066. No distinction is made between Framingham Pigot and nearby Framingham Earl in Domesday Book entries.

According to Blomefield, the church that was on the site in the 1730s was: 'very small, and never had a steeple, but a bell hanging on the outside, in an arch at the west end. The nave is only eleven yards long and seven broad; the chancel six yards square.' (Blomefield vol. 5 (1806), 437).
