The chancel arch is also 12th-century but the squints that flank it are later insertions. Early English and Decorated Gothic windows have been inserted in the south wall of the nave. The lower part of the bell tower was built around 1200 and the chancel is late 13th century. The north porch may be 13th or 14th century. The south door is set in a Caernarvon arch.

The parish was within Witney Rural District. On 1 April 1954 the civil parish was merged with the parish of Filkins to form the civil parish of Filkins and Broughton Poggs. In 1951 the parish had a population of 63. The new parish has been part of West Oxfordshire since 1974.
