 The church was founded in 1129 but nothing of this early structure now remains due to a fire in 1405.Construction on the new nave was underway by 1414, and based on the evidence of carved heraldry the vault of the nave was completed between 1440 and 1480.Work on the chancel did not commence until 1507 and completed around 1530 which was when the west tower was also extended to its current height.
