There has been a church on this site since 1140. The current building dates from the 16th century with various later alterations, including in the late 19th century by the famous architect Anthony Salvin. The church has some fine stained glass windows including by Pre-Raphaelite artist Henry Holiday, who was a frequent visitor to Muncaster. They include a window installed as a memorial to friends of the then Lord Muncaster, who were kidnapped while travelling in Greece and held to ransom. They were all killed during an attempt to rescue them. Lord Muncaster had been in the party but having been released to raise a ransom, he survived and commissioned the windows in their memory.
