[2] It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Knutsford.

[5] The earliest written evidence of a church on the site is in 1206 when Patrick de Mobberley founded an Augustinian priory.

At that time it consisted of a continuous nave and chancel under one roof, with narrow side aisles, and a detached tower.

[5] The low-pitched nave ceiling has cambered tie beams carried on short corbelled posts at the foot of which are figures of angels.

[8] In the south window of the chancel is 14th-century stained glass consisting of the coats of arms of local families.

According to the church's website, the organ (since replaced) was moved from Manchester's Free Trade Hall and had been the property of Sir Charles Hallé.

[6] In the church is a memorial window to George Mallory who, with Andrew Irvine, lost his life climbing Mount Everest in 1924.
