[3] By the end of the 18th century the south wall was leaning outwards, and was repaired in 1794 by Thomas Telford, who was at the time the county surveyor for Shropshire.

The restoration included replacing all the windows other than the west window, removing the plaster ceiling to reveal the timber roof, replacing the box pews, removing the three-decker pulpit and the galleries, and stripping the plaster, with its medieval paintings, from the walls.

[4] St Mary's is constructed in buff sandstone,[5] the roof is tiled and the spire shingled.

The east window contains stained glass dated 1875, designed by Harry Burrow, and made by Powell's, depicting The Vision of Piers Plowman.

[d] In the south wall of the chancel is a window of 1844 by Thomas Willement depicting the Good Shepherd, and in the south aisle is a window depicting Saints Paul and Timothy, dating from 1888, designed by Henry Holiday and made by Powell's.

On the opposite wall is a brass tablet to Percy Herbert Jones of the Queen's Westminster Rifles who was killed in action at Armentières in World War I.

There is also a brass tablet to Captain William Henry Trow, King's Shropshire Light Infantry, who was killed in action at Kroonstad in South Africa during the Boer War in 1900.

A stone panel dating from the 12th or 13th century has been inset into the wall; it is defaced but is probably a sheela na gig.

[5][13] In a paved surround on the south side of the churchyard, standing above the main street, is the parish war memorial, a rough-cut Celtic cross with a 'sword of sacrifice' cut into it.
