[2] A church has been on this site, adjacent to a former motte and bailey castle, since at least medieval times but only the base of its tower, which dates from the early 16th century, remains.

The remainder of the church was rebuilt in 1870 in Perpendicular style by the Chester architect John Douglas.

[4] On the exterior north wall of the tower are pitted marks which are said to have been made by muskets fired during the Civil War.

[5] Inside the church is a fragment of a medieval coffin, and, on the west wall, a royal coat of arms of Charles II dated 1660.

The lych gate has an oak frame on a sandstone plinth and a half-hipped roof of Westmorland slate with a red tile ridge.
