The church has an aisled nave (the S arcade Romanesque, the N of 1887) and a later medieval chancel and SW tower. Romanesque sculpture is found in the W doorway of the nave, moved from the N wall in 1831, and in the S nave arcade.

The manor of Eckington was granted to Westminster Abbey by Edward the Confesser; it had previously belonged to Pershore Abbey. In 1086 Urse the Sheriff held part of the Abbey's lands at Eckington; in the 12thc. this estate was held by his descendant William Beauchamp. The patronage of the church was confirmed to the Prior of Great Malvern, a cell of Westminster, in 1217.

Chevrons containing rosettes (W doorway, second order) are also found at Bredon, Netherton and Shrawley; Netherton and Eckington could have been carved by the same hand (Stratford in Pevsner 1968, 140, fn.).
