Staunton-on-Wye is a good-sized village built around a cluster of minor roads on the River Wye 10 miles W of Hereford. The A438 road from Hereford to Brecon passes by the village and was formerly a Roman road. The church is on the E outskirts of the village. It consists of a long aisleless nave, a chancel and a W tower. The nave is 12thc, and at its E end on the N wall are two blocked bays of an arcade, probably 13thc in date. The chancel has the remains of a 12thc window and a 12thc S doorway, but is otherwise modern. The Romanesque features recorded here are the N and S nave doorways, the S chancel doorway and the font. Worryingly, in the churchyard S of the chancel is a worn medieval effigy of a figure with its feet on a lion.
