The church, built of tufa with ashlar facing both inside and out, comprises a 12thc. nave and chancel, both without aisles. The chancel was extended in the 14thc., and in 1825 the W nave wall was replaced by a brick tower. According to the church guide, the tufa comes from a deposit four miles to the E. The VCH records restorations to the fabric in 1864 and 1889. Romanesque sculpture is found in the S doorway of the nave, in the arcading above it and on the font. There are also two carved panels inset into the E nave wall inside, and two panels reset into the S nave wall outside.

The manor was held by Ralph de Todeni in 1086. There was a priest at this time. The advowson is first mentioned in 1277-78, when it was conveyed with the manor to Ralph de Sodington. (VCH 4: 272)

Stratford in Pevsner 1968 (p.45) dates the Romanesque fabric to the second quarter of the 12thc. Blind arcading also appears over the doorways at Bockleton, Knighton-on Teme and Stoulton, and there are angle rolls on cushion capitals at Stockton-on-Teme. Carved panels bearing the Agnus Dei also occur at Stockton-on-Teme and Hanley William. Doorways set in a projecting bay, as here, occur in a number of churches in the county (see Preface to Worcestershire).
