The tower was added in the early 16th century[4] and the south aisle soon afterwards. The church was restored in 1846 and the north aisle added in 1866. The vestry and organ chamber were added in 1873.[1] The tower holds five bells which were re-hung as part of the refurbishment in the 1990s,[2] which also included repairs to the roof and stonework.[5] There is a War Memorial in the form of a brass plaque.[6]
Until 1863 Langford Budville was a chapelry of Milverton, and in 1930 Runnington was united with the benefice.[1]
The parish is within the Wellington and district benefice which is part of the Tone deanery.[7]
