Parts of the church date back to c900AD; it is thought that the church was built on the site of an earlier, Anglo-Saxon, wooden church. The tower was added about 950-1000AD.

 

The nearby Roman Fort is one possible location for an Anglo-Saxon monastery built c633AD with permission of King Siegbert of East Anglia.
