The church is over nine hundred years old.
From the 11th to the 18th centuries, Archbishops of Canterbury often lived at the Old Palace, Croydon. However, in 1808, Addington Park was purchased as a country residence for the Archbishop, and in the 19th century six Archbishops lived at what is now called Addington palace. Five of them are buried at Addington, and there is a memorial to all five in the churchyard to the South-West of the church.
