Small church of undivided chancel and nave with S chapel. The chancel was probably a 13thc. lengthening of the 12thc. building. A S porch and bell-turret are probably of the 1881 restoration. The S doorway is 12thc. as is the blocked N doorway. Much of the walling masonry is of the local whitish-grey lias limestone.

Domesday makes no mention of a priest at Wixford, though the dedication is to a Saxon saint, St. Milburga, an abbess (d.715), one of only five such dedications, and it may have been a chapel of Salford Priors in 1086. Henry gave it with the mother church to Kenilworth Priory, whose rights were then contested by the monks of Evesham as lords of the manor. An agreement was finally made and confirmed by Roger, Bishop of Worcester (1163-79) by which Kenilworth retained the patronage, paying 10s annually to Evesham, and Evesham reserved the tithes of the demesne lands.
