The first was by Ewan Christian, who in 1847 was appointed consulting architect to the Lichfield Diocesan Building Society.

The church's second restoration was by George Edmund Street, a leading practitioner of the Victorian Gothic Revival.

The churchyard contains two early medieval (11th century according to one source) crosses which are listed Grade II and are also protected as scheduled monuments The churchyard is notable as a place for viewing a double sunset on and around the summer solstice.

The relevant alignments change over time, but it has been calculated that the double sunset predates the arrival of Christianity in Roman Britain.

There has been speculation that the site was regarded as a holy place in pagan times and that the construction of a church was done to Christianise it.
