The north aisle was rebuilt on the old foundations (dating to about 1300) in 1820. The chancel was restored in 1843 by Sir Edward Ffrench Bromhead.

A watching brief carried out in March 2009, during drainage works in the churchyard, revealed part of the foundations of the medieval tower, which was composed of roughly hewn, coursed limestone. A small cut was visible in the foundations, lined with bricks and mortar. Remains of a brick structure were found on the north side of the tower, probably relating to a building (now demolished) which was latterly in use as a coal shed. Three undated inhumations (all adults) were uncovered in excavations at the north-eastern corner of the church, while another feature, identified as a gravecut, was located on the south side of the church. Early to middle Saxon pottery was found in two cut features located near to the gate at the south-west corner of the churchyard (see PRN 65681). {7}{8}
