The church was built in the 15th century with additions 1643 and a Victorian restoration in 1872. The north aisle was added in 1839.

The church is away from the main village, close to Bagborough House. The location of the church away from the village  is believed to be a result of an outbreak of Black Death, when may of the villagers died. They then abandoned the area around the church and rebuilt houses further down the hill. The lychgate is dedicated to the memory of Robert Brooke-Popham. The parish is part of the benefice of Bishop's Lydeard with Lydeard Saint Lawrence, Combe Florey and Cothelstone within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Architecture.
