Parts of the church, including the tower and south door are from the 15th century.[1] The first church on the site was established by 1291.[2] Other parts were rebuilt in the 16th century and again in 1738. The north aisle was added in 1847. The whole church underwent Victorian restoration in 1881.[1] Further restoration of the church was carried out in 2013.[3]
