Once the site of an Iron Age Hill Fort and later the home of monks, the present building dates from 1210. It has evolved under the patronage of two important local families, the Bearcrofts of Mere Hall and the Vernons of Hanbury Hall.
In the Vernon Chapel there is a large monument to Thomas Vernon who died in 1721. It comprises a semi-reclining effigy flanked by figures of Justice and Learning and, behind, Corinthian columns support an open pediment.
