Kinlet is a village in the south of the county 7 miles S of Bridgnorth. It consists of a settlement on the B4363, with the church and hall some 0.7 miles outside the village to the NW.

The church consists of a nave with a west tower and south porch, transepts and chancel. The core is 12thc, and the N aisle arcade dates from the late 12thc, while the S aircade and the tower are a little later. The aisles themselves were widened in the 14thc, when the chancel was rebuilt and the transepts added. A timber-framed clerestory was added c1500. The S doorway incorporates an early 12thc tympanum, described below, and the nave arcades are also included here. The church was restored in 1890-93.

Kinlet was held by Richard from Ralph Mortimer in 1086. Before the Conquest Edith held it. The Domesday holding was of 4 hides, and no church or priest was noted at that time.

Pevsner considers that the S arcade was made by the same workshop working

at Cleobury Mortimer and suggests that the capitals of the N arcade were

recut at a later stage.
