The ancient dedication of Farndon Church was to Saints Peter and Paul, which is why the joint symbol still tends to be used by the church.

The present church stands on the site of a much earlier church as shown by the Saxon doorway which is now part of the north wall. As well as the 12^th century south arcading and tower.

The church has been largely restored over the years. A lot of the work being done by the Venerable Brough Maltby who was vicar from 1864 - 1894. His restoration work included adding the north aisle, Lady Chapel, vestry and widening the Chancel. He also replaced the box pews with chairs, the adding of a chancel screen and font cover, as well as many other ornaments.

Brough Maltby was also responsible for the stained glass windows in the chancel in memory of his first wife, while his daughter , Mary, raised the money for the Lady Chapel window. These windows are by Tute who was a student of Kemp.

Archaeological work is examining the land adjoining the church yard. This could be ther site of an old vicarage or church house.
