[2] It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Stockport.

A sandstone church was built during the incumbency of Richard de Vernon, 1306–1320 and only its chancel remains.

[5] Its plan consists of a west tower, a wide nave with galleries, a south porch, and a chancel with a vestry to its north.

In the sanctuary is a double piscina, a large triple sedilia and, in a recess, the damaged effigy of Richard de Vernon, who was rector of Stockport from 1306 to 1334.

The gateway was designed by Lewis Wyatt and consists of three pointed archways, with crocketed finials above the centre arch.
