The lower part of the tower is the oldest part of the church, dating from the 12th century, whilst the current South Aisle and Chancel were added in the 13th. The tower was raised in 1549, when 4 bells were installed, then another in 1740, and a 6th bell in 1760. 2 further bells, making a full ring of 8, were added in 2000.
The Nave and South Aisle have been the subject of much change and restoration over the years, and a North Aisle was added in 1852; however the new roof from that restoration collapsed 7 years later, but was subsequently replaced and has since stood the test of time.
The church clock (not visible in this picture) is the handiwork of Mr John Baddeley who lived in Tong, and was originally installed in 1790; the face was restored and replaced in 1872 and again in 1969.
