The N and S nave arcades and the north door of the nave demonstrate that the nave dates from the second half of the 12thc. though the clerestory was added in the 15thc. A piscina in the chancel is made from a reused scalloped capital. The chancel has flat buttresses suggesting a Norman origin, though it was altered in the 14thc. The church was restored by William Butterfield in 1847-9.

Maud of Wallingford confirmed her gift of the church to the Benedictine Abbey of Le Bec-Hellouin in France c. 1148. After the appropriation of the church by the Abbey in 1192–3 the living was served by a chaplain. In 1208 a vicarage was ordained to which the abbot of Bec presented as prebendary of Ogbourne.

It is possible that the fragment used in the chancel piscina is one of the arcade W responds that were depicted by Buckler but vanished after the 19thc. restoration.
