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

St Catherine's was built as a private chapel by Thomas Hibbert of Birtles Hall in 1840.

The plan of the body of the church consists of a five-bay nave, a short chancel, a south porch, and a baptistry in a corresponding position on the north side.

[6] The internal walls were formerly covered in frescoes by Colonel Hugh Robert Hibbert, son of Thomas, who also built an organ for the chapel.

[citation needed] In 1999 two etched glass memorials to Major Hugh and Mrs Susan Hibbert by Simon Whistler were installed.
