Standing above the village on a natural mound of higher ground, the church is mostly built from reddish sandstone in the Gothic style and dates from the 12th century.

The external staircase turret (on the southeast corner of the tower) at Chebsey, is quite an unusual feature.

Parts of the south wall of the church show signs of extensive repairs, mostly in red sandstone.

[3] Inside the church can be found late Victorian stained glass windows by Charles Eamer Kempe, and a 13th-century stone coffin.

[4] The church was extensively renovated in 1897 under the supervision of Staffordshire ecclesiastical architect Andrew Capper.
