The church has an "unusual plan", with a central tower standing between the chancel and the nave.[3] In common with many churches on the Gwent Levels, the church suffered during the Great Flood of 1606/7, and a mark on the wall of the porch records the height reached by the water during the flood.[2]
Extensive restoration was carried out by James Norton in 1874–5.[3]
