The church's founder, Thomas Becke, decided to rebuild the church in the Georgian style after acquiring an estate in Cherry Willingham and becoming a patron of the living. It was said Becke made a fortune in law 'without the sordid means of avaricious parsimony'. The church was completed and opened for Services in 1753. It is built of high quality Ancaster limestone with many of the stones being full of fossils. There is a large arch shaped marble monument to Thomas Becke on view inside the church which was erected by his son on his death. The nave and chancel are combined and the eastern apse has large round headed windows. To the west is a wooden cupola with lead cap and weather vane. The font, pulpit and pews are 18th century.
