The church has Anglo-Saxon nave walls and a massive square tower. The early 11th century tower may have been the original nave with a small chancel. The aisles were added later. This was the central church of the Hundred of Singleton, a Saxon administrative grouping of parishes. The tower has three Saxon windows and a Saxon doorway leading into thin air high up in the nave, showing that there was once an upper room above the nave. It is likely that the priests for the churches in the Hundred would have lived in this room. The pews are from the Tudor period.
