The Domesday entry for Guiting Power mentions a priest living in this small village, perhaps indicating that this church dates from at least 1086, when the Domesday survey was carried out. The tiny ruin was excavated and then rebuilt in the 1990s at the same time as the Round Barrow nearby. Excavation revealed a primitive building of poor clay-bonded stonework with an oblong nave 8.5 metres by 5.5 metres and a small semi-circular apse. No burials were found.
