A parish church dependent on the Premonstratensian abbey of Lavendon. It was given to the abbey in 1348 by Edmund de Bereford, and was in its possession until the Dissolution.
The church probably dates from the 12th century, with a 13th century tower and a 15th-century spire. It was restored in the 1870s.
