St Oswald's Church stands on the highest point in the market town of Malpas, Cheshire, England,[1] on or near the site of a Norman motte and bailey castle.

Its benefice is combined with those of St John, Threapwood, and Holy Trinity, Bickerton.

The church was largely rebuilt above the cill level with the addition of a clerestory in the late 15th century.

[6] In about 1886 the Chester architect John Douglas carried out a restoration, which included removal of the box pews and plaster from its interior.

[8] At the south-west corner is a porch which leads into a six-bay nave with north and south aisles.

In the chancel is a memorial tablet to Charles Wolley Dod who died in 1904 by Edward Hilton.

In the north aisle is a memorial to Lt. Col. Henry Tarleton who died in 1820 by Edwards and Company of Wrexham.

[11] The stained glass includes a panel in the north chapel dating from around 1500 depicting the Presentation in the Temple.

[15] The two-manual organ was built in 1897 by Lewis and Company, overhauled around 1962 by Rushworth and Dreaper and restored at a later date by Peter Collins.

[18][19][20][21] Within the churchyard are a number of other items listed Grade II, namely, a table tomb dedicated to members of the Duncall family,[22] the tomb of John Bassett,[23] a headstone to the Hobley family,[24] and a sandstone sundial pedestal dating probably from the early 18th century.
