It was consecrated by the Bishop of Lichfield, Henry Ryder, on 14 August 1832.

[3][4] The church was built of Chell stone.

It has lancet windows, in pairs or single; the tower originally had an octagonal spire, which was removed in 1971 for safety reasons.

In 1885–1886 the east end was redesigned by A. R. Wood: a larger chancel was created, flanked by a south chapel and by an organ chamber, and two shallow transepts were created.
