[1] It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Congleton.

Its benefice is combined with those of Holy Trinity, Capesthorne, Christ Church, Eaton, and All Saints, Siddington.

[5] The church was founded and endowed in 1343 by Sir John de Davenport and his son Vivian.

[8] The former Principal Historic Buildings Officer for Cheshire County Council described the exterior as "disappointing" and considered that 19th-century alterations "have tended to detract from its external medieval appearance", but noted that "internally it has a great deal of character and interest.

[6] Other features include an Elizabethan parish chest[3] and an ancient handmade wooden ladder accessing the bell-ringing platform.

[7] Inside the church are traces of some early medieval paintings on the west wall, which were discovered under plaster in 1930.

The bottom left panel contains figures with raised hands mainly looking towards the viewer; these possibly represent souls under judgement.

[12] Also in the church is an 18th-century oil painting by Edward Penney of Moses and Aaron holding the Ten Commandments.
