THis is a Grade 1 listed building. The oldest parts of the church, the foundations and pillars, date from around 1189, when Hugh Nonant was bishop of Lichfield. It is thought that the building of this time replaced a small Norman church. The chancel and arcades are largely 13th-century, as is the sandstone font inside the church. The clerestory was built in the 15th century. The organ is a renovated original from 1827.
The height of the church, to the top edges of the tower battlements, is 94 feet (29 m). The tower shows two phases of English Gothic architecture, being in 13th-century Early English style for most of its height, with an extension of 15th-century Perpendicular style. The classic Victorian stone pinnacles on the tower were added in recognition of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897.
The church was extensively renovated by the Victorians in the 1960s, funded by George Edmund Street. The roof of the north and south aisles was replaced, and the north wall was rebuilt, making the north aisle four feet wider (it looks odd when you go inside and see). The ceiling of the nave was removed and the roof above was panelled. In the chancel, the east window was replaced by a five-light window in Early English style; a pointed chancel arch was built, and the chancel roof was raised. The box pews were replaced by oak seating. At the west end, a baptistry and choir vestry were built on either side of the tower.
