Some parts of the church date from the twelfth century, and it is thought to have been established by Hugh de Pluggenait, who was Lord of the Manor of Headingon from1142 to 1201; but there was probably already a small Saxon building on this site.
The chancel arch and part of the chancel are the oldest remaining parts, dating from Norman times but as I was there early in the morning, the church was locked so I couldn’t see them!
The present tower was not completed until c.1500, and the south porch was added in 1598.
There is a much restored 15th century cross in the graveyard.
