Originally a wooden 11th C castle was built which was then replaced in stone by the Norman invaders in the 12th C. It was considerably extended in the 13th C. After a period when it was used as a comfortable residence it was eventually abandoned in the 16th C and left to ruin.

The present nave dates from the 13th C, the tower and transepts were added in the 15th C and the Lloyd Chapel in the 16th C.
