There are no visible traces of any church building before the 15th century although there are records of the names of Rectors from 1324 on a panel inside the church. Over the centuries there were reports of the church being in virtual decay and externally very few traces of the original structure remain as the walls were refaced as part of a 19th century restoration. Internally, however, there is much more remaining from the 15th century. The earliest gravestone in the churchyard is dated 1692 but unfortunately the name of the deceased cannot be read. The nearby Chequers Estate was gifted to the Nation for the use of the Prime Minister of the day in 1917 and the church is still used by their visitors both official and private to this day.
