This Saxon church in 1100 had a cruciform plan with nave, chancel, transepts and central tower. By 1300 the tower was surmounted by a spire that is said to have been the tallest in the area and is believed to have fallen around 1700. In 1405 the chancel and transepts were used as the College of the Holy Cross, and remodeled in the Decorated style. The north porch was added in the mid-fifteenth century gifted by Sir John Ratcliff.
