Overview
There is no Domesday mention of a church, but the advowson was given to Trentham Priory in the early twelfth century. In 1713 the old church was taken down and completely rebuilt. The parish register records the opening of the new church on 6 August 1713. The listing describes red brick with vitrified headers, rusticated quoins, a two-bay nave with a small western bellcote, a lower chancel, and a north vestry of about 1900. An original lead hopper head dated 1713 bears the Coke arms. Semicircular-headed windows have keystones; the south doorway has a swan-neck pediment and achievement. The nave retains its original raised-and-fielded oak box pews; the chancel has original turned altar rails and reset Coke slabstones. Fragments of the original altar cloth and a maiden’s garland (restored by the British Museum) survive. A fifteenth-century bell, possibly by J. Hoton of York, hangs in the turret.
Historic England listed the church Grade II* on 19 January 1967 (list entry 1281370). It is in the Longford group of parishes.
