The Domesday Book says that the lord in 1066 was Spirtes the priest, with the overlord Overlord the canons of St Alkmund, Shrewbury. By 1086 the lord was Nigel the doctor. The assessed vicarage in the 1291 Taxatio suggests that there may have been an individual vicar at this time; if so, he must have been acting in place of the individual rector, though the record of proceedings against the rector in 1288 for irregularities suggests disapproval of his unwillingness to serve the church. The church was assessed at £18. 6s. 8d.
