The nave of the church was in a bad state of repair at the time of the Archdeacon of Lincoln's visitation in 1662. There was brief issued for the the assistance of Thimbleby in 1741/42 and this was possibly for the repair of the church. Cox says that the old church was pulled down in 1744. {2}{3}
Rebuilt in 1744 and again by James Fowler in 1879. The stained glass in the south nave dates from 1917 by Heaton, Butler and Bayne. {4}
