Many fine late C18-C19 wall memorials to the Duncombe family of Copgrove Hall.

The church belonged to the Knights Hospitallers in the C13,

from 1535 to c1634 the living belonged to the Wyse family.

The church is thought to have had a tower and short steeple, removed in the late C17 when the bellcote was added.

the pulpit, choir stalls and pews were altered at that time, and the floor lowered.
