The church of St. Mary dates back to the Norman period. The simple font is typical 11th century. The oldest part of the current building is its c1200 tower, which was originally detatched and was built for defensive purposes as well as religeous ones like many others in the region. The siting of the church, to the south of an 11th century castle site is also characteristic of the Normans.

The nave, chancel, south aisle and chapel were all built during various improvements and enlargements in the late12th and early 13th centuries.Apart from a couple of 15th century additions most of these older sections of the church are pretty intact. The north aisle is a modern extension.
