The current church has a mix of dates, with the bell tower being the oldest part, dating from the 13th century.
It was possibly built by Hugh de Balsham, who was Bishop of Ely between 1257 and 1286.
The chancel dates from the early 14th century, whilst the nave with its clerestory dates from the late 14th – the 26 stalls with their misericords were added during this building phase and probably date from 1400.
 A rood loft was added in the latter half of the 15th century, and the chancel roof was raised with its clerestory being added at the same time.

At some (unrecorded) time between the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the end of The Commonwealth, 17 of the misericords were removed, leaving nine.
In the 19th century one misericord, which may have been the work of Canon H.J.S. Burrell, a former rector who was a noted woodcarver, was added.

The 19th century saw some extensive renovation, with the roofs being renewed, and the clerestories being repaired.
 A vestry was added on the north side in 1867, and further restoration was carried out in 1875.
Further works have been carried out in the 20th century, with the addition of a chapel in the north aisle, containing an Elizabethan altar table.
In 1973 the bell tower was strengthened.

There are some pictures and a description of the church at the Cambridgeshire Churches website.
The church has a number of 15th-century memorial brasses: two are for former Rectors, John Sleford (d. 1401) and John Blodwell (d. 1462), and the third for an unidentified Knight (c.1480s).
None is now in its original position.

The village was at one time noted for its large community of Familists, members of an Anabaptist religious sect led by as Christopher Vitell.
There is also an extensive history of other non-conformist congregations, from at least 1654.
