Description

Substantially of 12thc. date but restored in 1861 and 1893, the church comprises a nave with plain N arcade, a N porch, chancel, N vestry and organ chamber. During one of the 19thc. restorations, it was clad in yellow ashlar and the plain S doorway reset. The church contains a plain font.

History

Wick was one of the chapels of Pershore St Andrew's. At DS Wick formed part of Westminster Abbey's great manor of Pershore; most of the estate seems to have been held by the abbot in demesne, but one hide was held by Urse and a half hide by Gilberte. Three virgates were given to Peter de Wick in the 12thc.
