History
The church is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene and to St Andrew.

The church is 13th century but there was probably an older Anglo-Saxon one pre-occupying the spot. The church underwent a major Victorian restoration in 1860.

The church has a Jacobean memorial to James Harington (1542–1614) and his wife facing each other, praying in a kneeling position.

Over the vestry door in the south aisle, is a Norman tympanum. Before the 1860 restoration, it was in two pieces in the external south wall of the chancel. The tympanum features a winged gryphon and a lion fighting with an 8-spoked wheel beneath.
