There has been a church on the present site
since the 13th century when it was probably built
by Sir Richard Fitton, who held the Manor of Bollin.
The first evidence of its existence is in the year 1264,
but the church that we see today
is substantially the product of the rebuilding undertaken by Henry Trafford,
Rector between 1517 and 1537.
It may well be that all that remains of the original church is the crypt beneath the chancel, although it is possible that the base of the tower, built in the 15th century, survived the subsequent rebuilding.
