St Remigius stands on the south bank of the River Nene. It consists of a chancel, a nave with N and S aisles and a south porch, and a west tower with a broach spire. The walls are of rubble with stone dressings. The chancel and nave were rebuilt, and presumably the aisles added, during the 13thc. The west tower was added early in the 14thc. In 1887, the north aisle and its arcade were rebuilt, and the whole church restored. The tower was restored in 1892. Nothing of the 12thc. fabric remains, but three of the bell-openings of the tower contain 12thc. material reused, according to Pevsner, from Castor.

The manor of 5 hides was held by the Abbot of Thorney in 1086. A priest and a church are mentioned at that date.
