The church was consecrated by George Davys, Bishop of Peterborough on 13 August 1840. It was reported that: The Marquess of Hastings gave land for the site. The cost of the building, upwards of 3000l., together with a handsome sum towards an endowment fund, was raised by subscription, chiefly among the inhabitants aided by a grant from the Church Building Society. The church contains upwards of 900 sittings, 600 of which are free and unappropriated.The Gentleman's Magazine, Vol. 169, p. 418
