The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1] It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Nantwich.[2] HistoryIt is believed that there has been a church or chapel on or near the present site for nearly 700 years. The first record of a rector goes back to 1379. The first church on the site would have been a wooden building. The existing records start in 1572. In 1827 the decision was taken that "due to decay it [the church] was unsuitable for public worship".[3] The present church was built in 1827–28 to a design by George Latham. The chancel was lengthened, and a transept was added in 1884.[4] Further alterations were made in 1905.[1] ArchitectureExteriorThe church is built in brick with a slate roof. Its plan consists of a west tower, a nave and a chancel.[1] The architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner considered that the church is "entirely Georgian" in style and that this style was maintained in the 1884 additions.[4] InteriorThe chancel has oak panelling with carvings of sunflowers. The reredos contains representations of the Agnus Dei and Alpha and Omega signs. The right hand chancel window is to a design of Burne-Jones and was made by Morris and Company.[1] In the church is a parish chest dated 1684 and a number of wall memorials dating from the 19th century.[5] The two-manual organ was built by Hill in 1884 and in 1890 it was moved from the west gallery to the south of the chancel.[6] There is a ring of eight bells. Six of these were cast by Gillett & Johnston in 1920 and the other two in 1982 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.[7] External featuresThe churchyard contains the war graves of three soldiers and an airman of World War I, and three soldiers of World War II.[8] See also{{Portal|Cheshire}}
