It has a long and complex structural history with visible fabric of several different dates reflecting the periods of rebuild and modification, its development intertwined with the ecclesiastical, political and social advancements and upheavals through the centuries. Current knowledge identifies the oldest part of the standing structure as the 12th century nave and chancel. It is believed that the north transept dates to the 13th century, as does the north chapel. Considerable additions were then made in the 15th century, almost doubling the church in size, with the crossing and tower rebuilt c.1440 with the nave and south aisle, and the south chapel added in the late 15th century. The building underwent substantial restoration in the 1860s and 2000s. The church has a range of interesting memorials, fixtures and fittings. The church is a major feature in the townscape. Its immediate setting includes a churchyard enclosed by walls and gates, erected in 1845 to designs by Jean Le Capelain, containing a rich variety of tombstones and monuments - many of historic or artistic interest.
