Spacious parish church consisting of chancel, nave, and side aisles built c.1300, a N transept of the late 13thc. (S transept collapsed in 1750), and a W tower rebuilt 1752. The clerestory was added in the 14thc. or 15thc.; the sacristy on the N side of the chancel may have been added at this time. There is a Romanesque font in the nave.
Domesday Book records a priest and a church here under the ownership of Geoffrey Alselin.
Given the polygonal form of the column bases, capitals, and the font itself, this probably dates from the late 12thc.
