Waynflete was once a flourishing medieval port and market town, which was granted its own charter in 1457.

It stands on the River Steeping and in 1720 there were 77 households.

The Magdalen College was built in 1484 by William of Waynflete to educate the local boys and the original church was positioned over a mile away from the present town. This was closed in 1809 because it became unsafe, and pulled down in 1820.

The new church, nearer the centre of population was opened in 1821 and incorporated some stonework, the font and the two small stained glass windows from the old church.

The Walker organ was installed in 1866. Parishioners, over the years have donated the suspended crucifix, font cover and beautiful glazed doors. The screen at the back of the church was moved in 1983 to provide the room used by church organisations and for social events.
