Parish church A basic church with nave and chancel, and a W tower offset to the S. The vaulted chancel is essentially Romanesque but with some restoration. The Romanesque S doorway has been very heavily restored and the simple N doorway has been reset. The body is built of sandstone rubble, but the sculptures and ashlar are in both red and grey sandstone. The church lies at the bottom of the hill on which the castle of the de Montforts once stood.

Collegiate parish church Of the substantial Norman church on this site, only the crypt survives. A fire in 1694 necessitated the rebuilding of tower, nave, aisles and transepts, all designed by Sir William Wilson and built by Smith of Warwick. The 14thc. chancel and 15thc. Beauchamp chapel were however retained.
