The 1806 parish church built on the site of its predecessor and incorporating early carved stones in its walls.

The church was founded by St. Boniface in the 7th century and was dedicated to St. Peter. It is not positive that the early church stood on this site but the finding of a Class II symbol stone in the church wall would suggest this.

The church appears on record in the 12th and 13th century and a graveslab bearing the date 1380 was found in the walls of the old church when it was demolished in 1806.
