The
church was rebuilt in the 19th century, but there is a tomb and slab in the crypt dated 1433, as well as a Norman font, and a few other artefacts of an earlier age.
The present church building was built in 1854 to replace a much dilapidated mediaeval building. It was designed by John Norton, who was also responsible for Stogursey School. The building was considered to be a fine piece of architecture for the period. It was dedicated on 17th October 1856 to the virgin St Etheldreda, more commonly known as St Audrey. St Audrey was a Queen of Northumbria who became the first abbess of Ely where she died in 679 from a tumour of the throat. She believed her illness to be a punishment for her youthful fondness for necklaces; as a result she gave her name to necklaces of fine silk that were called Taudrey (tawdry).
