This church was virtually rebuilt by G. E. Street in 1874-87. It now comprises a three-bay aisled nave and a square-ended chancel with an organ chamber on its N side, and a chapel on it S. All that was retained of the medieval (largely late 12thc.) church were the nave and chapel arcades.
Graffham had a church in 1086. The entire building, except the nave arcades and tower, was rebuilt in 1875. The tower was rebuilt in 1887.
The original nave arcade capitals date from the second half of the 12thc.
