The church has a chancel which was built c.1230,[1] a 14th-century tower with spire, and a 15th-century nave with aisles. From 1849 to 1850, the church building was restored by Thomas Henry Wyatt and David Brandon.[2] In 1952, it was designated as Grade I listed.[2]
The parish falls within the Traditional Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England.[3] As it rejects on theological grounds the ordination of women as priests and bishops, the parish receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Oswestry (currently Paul Thomas).[4]
