Wormsley is a small village in central Herefordshire, 7 miles NW of Hereford, consisting of a few farm buildings and the church built on a lane in hilly pasture land. The church is a simple 2-cell building of coursed sandstone rubble, with a plain, solidly-built S porch of the same material and a double bell-cote over the W gable of the nave. The nave has a 12thc S doorway, but otherwise diagnostic features of nave and chancel point to a 13thc date. Inside is a plain 12thc font. The church was restored in 1866-67. It was declared redundant in 1972 and vested in the Churches Conservation Trust in 1974.

Wormsley was held by the Canons and Bishop of Hereford before the Conquest and in 1086. A half-hide was held by an unnamed knight from the Bishop in 1086. A further holding of 1 hide and 1 virgate was assessed as 2 maonors in the hands of Alwig and Wulfnoth in 1066, and was held by Leofric from Roger de Lacy in 1086. Rogere was also the overlord of a virgate of land, apparently with no tenant in 1086, that had been held by Haduic in 1066.

The font is dated to the late-12thc or early-13thc by the RCHME and the List Description. Opus reticulatum may also be found on a tympanum at Hatfield, near Leominster.
