In the C16 the church was a chapelry of Condover but in late-medieval times it was used as a private manorial chapel.

The church is especially notable as a largely unaltered late C13 chapel (with many stylistic affinities to St. Mary's Church, Acton Burnell) and for its largely complete C18 interior fittings.
