A parish church consisting of a chancel, clerestoried nave, aisles, S porch and W tower with spire. The Romanesque features are the N arcade and the font.
Thoroton is mentioned in the Domesday Survey in the lands of the King and there is mention of a priest. The body of the church is largely 13thc. to 14thc., though much restored in 1869 when the S porch was built.
The N arcade is Transitional, from the end of the 12thc. Pevsner commented on the unusual 14thc. ogee-headed niche in W elevation of the tower, suggesting that it should be attributed to the workshop responsible for the screen at Southwell and the chancel at Hawton.
