Nave with N aisle is 19thc, as is the chancel, but masonry may be 14thc, as there is a likely contemporary priest's doorway. The church was restored in 1870. There is a Romanesque font.
The list of incumbents at the church goes back to 1282. At that time the church was under the patronage of the Abbot of Wigmore in Herefordshire, which appropropriated the rectory and instituted a vicarage in 1285.
The purplish sandstone is similar to the stone used for the fonts at Edgmond and Lilleshall parish church. Some of the interlace ornament on the font resembles the decoration of those fonts.
