The church dates from the 13th century onwards, the chancel has been rebuilt twice, in 1741 and 1870. There is a western tower with arched openings to north and south allowing pedestrians to pass through, a nave with clerestory, north and south aisles, south porch, and chancel with apse. The tower is of three stages from the 14th century, but the belfry stage is from the 15th century. It is buttressed with embattled parapets. There are six bells. The church is famous for its one-handed clock, which dates from the 17th century. The dial is 16 feet in diameter and believed to be the largest single-handed clock in Europe. The nave arcades have five bays with octagonal piers. The north aisle is from the 14th century, with the south aisle being from the 15th century, both have human head label stops. At the east end of the south aisle is a Lady Chapel. The nave has a 14th century king post roof. The 14th century chancel arch once had a rood loft, and the access doors still remain on the south side. The south porch dates from the 15th century and has a parvis above. The chancel, with polygonal apse, was rebuilt in 1870 by T.C. Hine and Son. The church contains several memorial plaques to members of aircrew from RAF Coningsby killed in flying accidents and WWII.
