It is the largest church in the village,[2] and has been designated as a Grade II* listed building since 1984.

[3][4] Although it is likely that there was a church in Albrighton prior to the 12th century, the current building was constructed in 1181.

Stephens of Derby,[4] the interior of the church was restored, and the north aisle was built, as well as a porch.

[7][8][9] The alabaster tomb of Sir John Talbot, who died in 1555, and his wife, Lady Frances Giffard, is located within the chancel.

The tomb is so called because the Pitchford family shield is located on its side; the shields of other families who played a part in the maintenance of the church are also displayed on the tomb.
