History

A parish church dependent on the Premonstratensian abbey of Bradsole. It was given to the abbey in the mid-13th century by Henry de Wengham, dean of St. Martin le Grand, London, and it remained in the Premonstratensians' possession until the Dissolution.

The current church on the site dates to the 1860s.

The abbey may also had a grange at Shepherdswell which is now a private farm house.
