Single-aisled church, largely 19thc in Neo-Romanesque style. There are two 12thc S doorways and a 12thc font.
Billingsley is referred to in Domesday Book as one of the 18 berewicks of the Manor of Morville. The church was a chapel belonging to Morville Church.
The masonry blocking up the S doorway suggests that the doorway was blocked up at a fairly early stage after its completion. The animal head to the R of the blocked up S doorway resembles the animal heads on the corbel tables at Diddlebury and Linley.
