The current St. Dunstan's Church was built on the site of an ancient one that had existed since the Norman era but was destroyed by fire in the late 14th century. Only a few elements survive from that period, with additional additions made over the years. As an interesting story, in the 1970s, cracks appeared in the tower walls, leading to a prohibition on ringing all the bells at once.

St Dunstan's was founded in 960 by St Dunstan, who was then Archbishop of Canterbury. It is reported as being originally a log church which lasted until it was replaced by a stone structure in the 12th century by the Normans.
