Summary Description

The church is mentioned in Domesday Book, and later became collegiate with four priests under Haughmond Abbey (to which it was given in 1155 by William FitzAlan). The great antiquity of the church is also shown in its fabric. Many Roman stones are re-used, but the earliest ecclesiastical remains consist of Saxon masonry in the north wall. In the late twelfth century a new chancel was built, wider than the old nave, and several windows survive from this period.
