Often referred to as "The Church on the Hill" the building is a well known landmark. The site is an old one and signs of Roman occupation dating from the 3rd Century AD have been found. The present church was built in 1865 on the same site as the old church which was pulled down. Much work has been done in recent years. The bell tower was repaired in 1983, the South facing roofs re-slated, the organ completely restored and electricity installed. The old gas lights were initially kept but in 2003 electric lights were put in because the gas lamps were getting difficult to maintain.
The font is from the previous building. The stained glass is Victorian but it is thought that the octofoil and ringfoil smaller windows may have been incorporated from the earlier church. The ancient chalice, or communion cup, dated 1568 is used only on major occasions, but there is a framed picture and details in the church. A fuller history can be seen on the table just inside the church door.
