There was a two-cell church (consisting of nave and chancel) built about 1200; in the late 13th century, north and south transepts were added.

[1][4] On the south wall of the south aisle is a wall painting from the early 14th century, depicting Christ seated on a throne, and Mary seated and crowned, and attendant figures of a knight and a lady.

[1][4] The lady chapel was built in the 14th century; its creation is mentioned in the Lichfield Episcopal Registers of 1361: "Ordination of a Chantry on the South side of the church in honour of the Holy Trinity, Mary the Mother of God... for Sir Richard Stafford and his wife Maud, and for the soul of Isabel, his former wife."

In the centre of the chapel is an alabaster tomb chest, a monument to John Vernon of Harlaston, who died in 1545, and his wife Ellen; they are shown recumbent.

[4] The church was restored in the 1860s by George Edmund Street; this involved replacement of the medieval roof.
