The mediaeval church has Saxon origins with portions being built in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries.[2] The aisle and the porch still have their carved wagon roofs; however, the roofs have fallen down over the rest of the building.[3]
In 1880–82 a new church, also dedicated to St Peter, was built nearby and this church fell into disrepair. It is still consecrated and occasional services are held in the church during the summer.
