It stands in Churchgate overlooking the market place and is Grade I listed. A church was on the site by 1190 but of this church only the original oratory (which is now an annex to the vestry) remains. Around 1310 a new church was built and only its chancel remains.

The rest of the present church was built between 1813 and 1817 to the design of Lewis Wyatt. There was a further restoration in 1848 to replace weathered masonry.

The tower originated in the 14th century and was rebuilt in 1612–16 and again in 1810.
