This unusual church was built as a collegiate church by Edward Gonville for 6 monks and a master. The chancel, roof, transepts were destroyed by the Earl of Surrey in 1520, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and used as stables. A new east timber frame east wall was erected and the roof thatched in 1580 and the church reinstated. In 1904 an apse was added.
