The south aisle was built in 1543 by Hugh Starkie of Oulton, a gentleman usher to Henry VIII and a benefactor to Cheshire churches.

[1] In about 1906 Austin and Paley carried out a further restoration; this included increasing the seating by 56, and installing heating, at an estimated cost of £899.

[3] According to legend, the building was said to be named because St. Chad baptised locals in a stream nearby to the site of where the church is located today.

[1] Its plan consists of a tower at the west end, a nave with aisles, a chancel, a vestry to the northeast, and a southeast porch.

[8] A lavishly decorated stoup is in the porch,[8] and Hugh Starkie's tomb lies in the sanctuary.

[13] The red sandstone churchyard walls and gate piers are also listed at Grade II.
