This church is on the edge of woodland off a lane on the eastern slopes of Long Mountain, looking across the Wales/England border to the Long Mynd, south of Shrewsbury.

There has probably been a church on the site since 1100AD.

The west entry through the tower porch into its splendid Georgian nave is an architectural surprise and constant attraction to visitors.
