The church dates from the early 13th century.[3] Several carved figures are positioned around the outside of the church.[4] The south porch has a parvis room,[5] which would have been made for the priest.[6]
St Tibba is said to have lived in the village[4] in the 7th century.[5] She was buried in the church but her relics were removed to Peterborough Abbey by Abbot Ælfsige.[6] The remains of a small hermitage associated with the saint can be seen on the west side of the north aisle of church.[7]
