Founded in 1089, the church grew over subsequent centuries to include up to five altars in the church, but these were removed during the Reformation. The spire is 14th century. In the early 15th century a hermitage was attached to the rear of the church. It was home to one Emma Raughton, who received visions of the Virgin. She was able to hear Mass through small openings called squints, which are still visible today.
