It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Shrewsbury, the archdeaconry of Salop, and the diocese of Lichfield.

[4] A church was present on the site by 1075, the chronicler Orderic Vitalis being baptised there on the Easter Day of that year.

[5] The oldest part of the present church is in the nave and dates from the late Saxon or the early Norman era.

[2] The church is constructed in red and grey sandstone,[2] and incorporates some large blocks of stone from the Roman city of Wroxeter.

The plan of the church consists of a nave, a chancel, a south porch, and a west tower.

At the top of the tower is a quatrefoil frieze, corner gargoyles, a parapet with truncated pinnacles, and a small pyramidal cap.

[2] The octagonal font is dated 1675, and the reading desk contains 17th-century panels depicting the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

[4] In the churchyard to the south of the church are six structures that have been designated as Grade II listed buildings.
