It is an active Anglican church in the deanery of Alyn, the archdeaconry of Wrexham and the diocese of St Asaph.

Additions were made to the church and it was remodelled in the late 15th century under the patronage of Sir William Stanley.

During the Civil War it was damaged when it was occupied by Parliamentary forces; bullet marks are still present from that occupation.

Ewan Christian carried out the work on the chancel and John Douglas was responsible for the rest of the church.

In 1960 the heating and lighting were improved and in 1963 restoration work was carried out on the tower and the roof were re-covered.

[7] There are obvious signs of Civil War combat within the church: the west wall is pitted with holes made by musket balls, and the north door is pierced by three plugged loopholes, made for firing musket rifles.
