Description

The church consists of chancel, nave, N and S aisles, W tower and S porch. The reset S doorway is all that survives from the 12thc.

History

There was a priest at Wolvey in 1086 and a moiety of the church was granted to Coombe Abbey (Warwick) by Reynold Basset. Between 1198 and 1207 Bishop Geoffrey de Muschamp decreed that the other half of the church and patronage, including the chapel at Copston (nearby), should belong to the Cathedral of Lichfield. In 1291 each half was worth £6-13s-4d.
