[1] The church is situated on the Walsgrave Road (A4600) east of Coventry city centre.

[1] The oldest parts of the church today are the west bays of the nave and the tower, which date back to the 14th century.

[2] This 14th century church consisted of a tower, a short nave and south aisle and a chancel projecting to the east.

In the 19th century the church was extended to support a larger population in the parish, first by the addition of a north aisle and a gallery, then in 1861 by a major rebuilding.

The first peal on the eight was rung on the 21st February 1908 for the wedding of Joshua Perkins, who donated the bells to the church.
