History

The church dates from the 11th century but the existing structure is mainly thirteenth century and contains Saxon and Norman work.[2] The chancel was restored in 1865 at the expense of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. More substantial work was carried out in 1889 at a cost of £2,000, when a new roof, new flooring and new seating were provided. The church reopened on 23 October 1889[3] by the Bishop of Southwell.
