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

This was replaced in 1541 by a timber framed church which in 1572 contained at least 50 coats of arms of the local nobility, either depicted in the stained glass or painted on the walls.

[4] The previous internal alterations had weakened the structure of the church and in 2000 it was declared to be unsafe.

[1] It is believed that the stone pillars inside the church are from the previous building.

The exterior walls are of locally-made brick, and the quoins and finials were made of stone from a quarry at Manley near Macclesfield.

[1] The date 1702 is picked out in glazed bricks on the tower, either side of the clock face.

At the top of the tower is an ogee cornice and a parapet with ball-topped finials at the corners.

Above these is a cornice and a solid red brick parapet, interrupted by ball-topped pilasters over each window on the south side.

On the east wall of the north aisle is a tablet containing details of the members of the Cholmondeley family who were buried in a vault.

[5] In the apse on each side of the east window are panels containing the Ten Commandments and prayers.
