Farlow is a small village about 14 miles W of Kidderminster. The present building was constructed in 1857-8 by Robert Griffiths in yellow sandstone but, according to Cranage (1901-12), the church at Farlow was originally a chapel of Stottesdon. It consists of a single-aisled structure with a N vestry and a S porch. The only Romanesque feature is the reset 12thc S doorway from the old church.
The Domesday Survey records that 'Ferlau' (or 'Fernelau') was held by Edith before the Conquest; in 1086 the lordship passed to Widard of Farlow, being King William tenant-in-chief.
