Possibly built on site of an old Saxon site, church dates from 12th C. with a sturdy heavily buttressed west tower from the 15th C. with 6 bells, 2 dating from 14th C.
Nave and chancel are from 12th C. with no chancel arch.
The South door is Norman with a face over the tympanum.
Restored in 1878. The screen was erected after the First World War as a memorial, although previously a rood screen existed.
Approached via a footbridge over a drainage ditch, it is said to be 4m below sea level.
