History
editThe church has a chancel which was built c.1230,[2] a 14th-century tower with spire, and a 15th-century nave with aisles. From 1849 to 1850, the church building was restored by Thomas Henry Wyatt and David Brandon.[1]
In 1952, the church was designated a Grade I listed building.[1]
Present day
editThe parish falls within the Traditional Anglo-Catholic tradition of the Church of England.[3] As it rejects on theological grounds the ordination of women as priests and bishops, the parish receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Oswestry (currently Paul Thomas).[4]
Notable clergy
edit- Clement Ricketts (1885–1961), later Bishop of Dunwich, served his curacy here
- Bruce Duncan (born 1938), Principal of Sarum College, honorary curate[5]
