The church was built between the 12th and 15th centuries. It underwent a Victorian restoration in the 19th century.[1]

The parish is part of the Wheathill benefice,[2] within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[3]

The stone building has Doulting stone dressings and a tiled roof. It consists of a two-bay chancel and three-bay nave with one-bay transepts. The three-stage octagonal north-west tower was added in the 15th century.[1] The Norman north doorway is of hamstone.[4][5][6]

The interior fittings are mostly 18th or 19th century but there is a 13th century stone font.[1] Within the church is a roll of honour and memorial to men from the village who fought in World War I.[7][8]
