Parts of the church date back to the 12th century. [1] In 1110 it was the property of Taunton Priory. [2] In the 15th century the nave was extended and the tower and porch added. In 1848 a Victorian restoration was carried out and the vestry added. [1]
In 1959 proposals were made to demolish the church. These were defeated and further restoration undertaken. [2]
