There was no church listed here in the Domesday Survey of 1086. It is thought though that there was a small church here in the 12th century, of which an arch on the south doorway remains. This church would have had a tower and steeple before the year 1260, the date by which the village had obtained its distinctive name.   The whole church was rebuilt during the 14th century, with the building work going on for many years. The chancel, nave and aisles were restored and the porch rebuilt in 1874, and the tower and spire were restored in 1899.
