Originally, it was dedicated to a Celtic saint before adopting its current dedication.
The nave, chancel, and porch were constructed in the mid-19th century.

Hiking
The church dates to the early Norman period, though most of the present building is a product of the 14th and 15th centuries. The striking three-stage tower rises to a height of 90 feet. The height is unusual as most moorland churches tend to have short, squat towers.

Running
The tower dates back to the 15th century, and the south aisle to the 16th century.
Like many other churches in the area, it underwent a Victorian restoration in the mid-19th century.
