The building was designed by the stonemason Robert Studholme, from Sutton Coldfield, with a single aisle nave, side vestries, and a bell tower. Work started in 1831. The church was consecrated on 6 August 1833 by Rt Revd Henry Ryder, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. The church was enlarged in 1888 with the construction of the chancel, organ chamber and vestries by J.A. Chatwin at a cost of £1,600. The builder was Collins of Tewkesbury.
