The church was established Шаблон:Circa, but is much-altered.[1] It has a 12th-century tower, originally free-standing, and included in the church when the latter was extended in the 13th century.[2] A double broach spire was added in the 18th century.[3] The tower houses a six-bell ring.[4] Five were made by Rudhall of Gloucester between 1736 and 1739, including the tenor, which weighs Шаблон:Long ton and is in the key of F-sharp. The other bell was made by William Evans of Chepstow in 1764. The bells were refurbished in 1978 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.[5] The church also has an organ made by J. W. Walker & Sons Ltd, installed in the North chancel chamber in 1883 and improved and refurbished by Henry Willis & Sons in 1959.[6]
The lychgate is constructed from carved stone, dates from the 18th century, and has its own Grade II* listing. Its design is unusual, with a domed roof capped with a finial, and open arches set into each wall.[7]
The church was Grade I listed in October 1953,[1] giving it legal protection from unauthorised alteration or demolition. It is part of the Diocese of Hereford[9] and is one of five (three in England, two in Wales) that are jointly administered as the "Kington Parishes"'.[10]
