The chancel and nave are late 10th century or early 11th century.[1] The sanctuary is early 12th century. The church was restored twice in the 19th century, first by William Burges in 1866-68[2] and then by Ewan Christian in 1888.[3] Newman describes the church as "important, but visually rather charmless."[2]
