The church was owned by Gloucester Abbey. [3]

The west gallery and box pews were removed and the church restored between 1902 and 1904 by H.A. Prothero. [4] [5]

The parish is part of the Coln River Group benefice within the Diocese of Gloucester. [6]

The limestone building has a stone slate roof. It consists of a nave, south transept with porch and chancel. [1]
