The present building dates from 1085, with mainly 15th-century structure, floor, and wall tiles.
Extensions to the original Norman architecture church began around 1440 in the Perpendicular style and work continued until 1502.
The great square central tower is very similar to that of the nearby Gloucester Cathedral; it was built by the same masons.
It was redesigned in Perpendicular style by Sir Reginald Bray and has a very plain interior.
The chancel is also Perpendicular in style, and contains the monument of John Knotsford (died 1589), a participant in the dissolution of the former monastic foundation.
It is largely thanks to his patronage that the church, and particularly its medieval glass, survived so well.
