The church is built of flint with a masonry west bellcote in 1879 after a long land owner dispute held up building for over 30 years. The church was probably always lightly used, although the churchyard is quite full and contains a large but anonymous family mausoleum. In the late 1970s the church was still lit by oil lamps and there were efforts to close it at this time, but this did not happen until 1994. It is now a diocesan youth centre called St Bartz!
