The architecture of the church has developed over the centuries. It probably dates from the early 12th century with the first written record of a church in Rowington contained in a deed of 1157. The tower was built around 1300 followed shortly after by the chancel which in 1490 was given new south windows. A chantry chapel was added on the north side in the 1400s and was then incorporated into the north aisle in 1554. The lady chapel was created in 1960.
In 1872 the interior of the church was given a complete restoration and much of the early work and fittings were removed. Some of the furniture remains, such as a rare 15th century stone pulpit, a Norman tub type font and a communion rail dating from 1682.
The church is notable for its central tower and 'Christ in Glory' stained glass window which dominates the west end of the church and was commissioned to celebrate the new millennium in 2000.
The tower holds six bells. The oldest dates from 1609 with the newest added in 1959. On top of the tower is a weather vane consisting of a copper fan in the shape of a boar's head which may date from about 1700.
