Bishop Wulfstan of Worcester consecrated the first church on the site over 900 years ago, at about the time of the Domesday survey.
The building was extended during the reign of Henry II, when the church was bestowed on the Abbey of Godstow.
The church was rebuilt in 1275.
By 1509 the central tower was causing concern, and was taken down. A new tower was completed in 1522, and the pinnacles were added in 1755. The tower now contains a peal of thirteen bells.
