Farlow is a small village in the south of the county, 8 miles NE of Ludlow and about 14 miles W of Kidderminster in neighbouring Worcestershire. 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 features are the reset 12thc S doorway and a plain font from the old church.

In 1086 Farlow was held by Widard. The manor belonged to Leominster, the king's manor in Herefordshire and was assessed at 1 hide and 3 virgates. The earliest Lord of Farlow known to Eyton was Philip de Farlow, otherwise called Philip de Lindley, who was involved in court cases in 1194 and the early 13thc.

Point-to-point chevron is not common in Shropshire. The finest is at Lilleshall, but it is all more inventive than this simple form.
