Ford is a small settlement on the River Lugg, 2 miles S of Leominster, where the minor road from Stoke Prior joins the A49, Leominster to Hereford road. The church is alongside this minor road, and appears to be a complete Norman apsed church built on a tiny scale. In fact it is by T. Nicholson and dates from 1850-51. It is reputed to be built on the old foundations, but if this is so it was built to nothing like the original height. It has a rectangular nave with an apsidal chancel and a N vestry and is constructed of sandstone rubble with a slate roof. Loose on the floor inside is a 12thc piscina of unusual design; the only Romanesque feature.

Ford was held by Ralph de Tosny in 1086, when it was assessed at 1 hide and 1 virgate. Before the Conquest it belonged to the king's manor of Leominster. Following the foundation of Reading Abbey in 1123, Ford was among the possessions of the former Abbey of Leominster whose tithes were given to Reading, and lands in the maonr gradually passed to the Berkshire abbey too (see Hillaby (2006)).

Neither RCHME nor Pevsner (1963) records the piscina, while Brooks (2012) calls it 'presumably Norman'. The List Description describes it as a 'medieval bowl [with] chevron mouldings and a drainage channel (?) at one side.' The five other Romanesque piscinas known in Herefordshire are standard pillar piscinas, with or without their pillars.
