The church primarily dates from the late 13th and early 14th century[4] though it does have a tower arch dating from the Anglo-Saxon era, the "only worthwhile piece of Anglo-Saxon architecture in the County".[3]
The tower was added[dubious – discuss] in the 13th century but the top section was added the following century and it was also raised.[5][better source needed]
A coffin the size of an infant is on the north side of the tower arch and was probably made for an Anglo-Saxon family.[5] On the east wall of the chancel, is a monument to Henry Tymperon. There is also a monument to Thomas Cox, a former rector.[5]
The sundial on the south face of the tower is said to have been donated by Sir Isaac Newton.[3][6] His mother, Harriet Ayscough, lived in the village.[5]
