Background
History
Historic England records the foundation of the church as medieval. Pevsner describes the church as "an enterprise of Lady Wilbraham...[of] 1700β1". This was Elizabeth Mytton, heiress of the Weston estate, who married Sir Thomas Wilbraham in 1651. A 2010 article in the Architects' Journal by the historian John Millar, describes Elizabeth Wilbraham as "the first woman architect", and suggests that she may have undertaken designs for over 350 buildings, as well as tutoring and collaborating with Christopher Wren.

Architecture
Pevsner records that "only the east wall with a 14th century window" remained of the medieval church when Elizabeth Wilbraham begun her reconstruction in 1700. The tower and nave are her work.

George Edmund Street undertook a restoration in around 1869, and the font is his. Further work, including the construction of a family chapel, was done by Ewan Christian in 1876β1877. The chapel, and the church, contain monuments to the Earls of Bradford and their families, who owned Weston Park until 1986.
