It lies upon the pilgrimage route to Wales from Worcester, and is today a visitors centre.

The oldest parts of the church are the chancel and the nave which contains a carved, stone Norman Arch dividing them.

Once again, in April 1979 the nave roof was considered unsafe with the possibility of collapsing.

The people of Cotheridge and their neighbouring parishes raised money for the restoration.

With additional help from the Worcester Diocese, English Heritage and the Historic Churches Preservation Trust the work was completed in 1987.
